I really do hate this.

"Thank God you survived the surgery. The lord was watching over you"

"How about the surgeons? Do they get any credit?"

The medical guy standing next to her is clearly thinking something along those lines, based on his expression.

A friend of mine is a surgeon, and he told me he really struggles not to lose his shit when he hears people thanking God after he has been standing on his feet for multiple hours to save someone's life.

I'd just say "you're welcome."

Yea, on top of that, isn't God responsible for creating the problem that needs surgery in the first place? That's like thanking someone for giving you a band aid after they cut you with a knife.

Exactly.

So what is mysterious about giving a nine year old little girl cancer? What are you testing?

Fuck gOd . Religion is fucking cancer.

Actually fucking God is a bad idea.

God might got the credit, but the surgeon got the insurance money.
