Do doctors believe in god? and why? at any point of operations do you pray or believe purely in skillful operation?

Many beliefs: Doctors vary from serious religious advocates, to spiritual believers to non-believers. Doctors in general believe that practice and knowledge can improve their ability to diagnose and treat. They are sensitive to the religious beliefs of their patients and treat those with respect. Operations depend upon the knowledge and skill of the surgeon and i suppose a few invoke prayer, but skill is it.

Most do: In a survey of family physicians 79% reported a strong religious or spiritual orientation ; only 4.5% said they do not believe in god (http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/10037539).In a different survey of all types of physicians 76% said they believe in god. I can't answer why but docs are smart ; their life experiences lend to this belief. I am sure some docs pray during some procedures- i have!

Belief in God: As dr. Baker has shared, many doctors do believe in god, and this is a regular part of their lives. Belief in god does not have to be tied to a particular religious denomination, though. In psychiatric patients, belief in god is associated with better treatment outcomes for depression. http://tinyurl.com/l3keav9 response to treatment surely depends on more than the pill provided.

Wrong question: Modern "Western" allopathic medicine is universally accepted as the only rational systematic science-based approach to health & disease. Science rejects religious explanations of nature. A doctor's religious beliefs do not affect his/her practice of medicine. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, etc doctors all practice the same kind of medicine regardless of their beliefs.
