As for the prayers, I suppose they cant hurt. Ive never found much good in them, Ill confess that here, though I keep such thoughts private when in public company. Who would confide in a physician who claimed no affiliation with God? I still must feed myself, and keep my house. I still need my patients. But too many people believe with too much conviction in what amounts to, at best, a superstition.Ive seen science change a patients diagnosis, but Ive never heard a prayer that changed Gods mind about a damn thing..
