Do doctors believe in divine healing?

Some do, some don't.: Like other people, doctors have a range of viewpoints about just about everything. Some doctors are very religious; some are atheists. From my point of view, I have seen too many amazing things that i don't fully understand to dismiss the possibility of benevolent intervention.

Divine healing: Most docs believe in divine healing concept. Knowing that human body and the intricate and delicate systems which operate at all levels and the harmony between different organ systems is a divine work, the pathology of these organs is usually a divine phenomenon as well and the healing is divine as well. We as doctors and scientists are humbled so much by the fact that we don't know so much!

Some do, some don't: What I do know is that when someone refuses needed, evidence-based health care because of a religious scruple or intuition, the outcome is almost always a disaster.

Please repost: and define what YOU mean by "believe in" and "divine healing." If by "believe in" you mean as in religion - ie belief without proof - then you are repudiating the last 500 years of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the scientific method which is the foundation of modern medicine and the utter antithesis of "divine healing." Get out of the ancient Bronze Age and join the 21st century.
