In any event, I am expressing skepticism that the local pastor - however well meaning and well intentioned his input might have been - had no real impact on the prescribed medical treatments.

Someone earlier had questioned the Aussie docs for not going forth with "cutting the patient open" when the pastor had said, "No! Let's pray instead..." My response was intended to assure the other poster that the Aussie doctors were in all likelihood not swayed away from taking whatever prudent action they thought was necessary. LS's high praise of all the medical folks involved seems to offer something of an overriding indicator here, at least IMHO.

That poster's concern wasn't only in the accuracy of the narrative, but also (and mostly) that some people reading it might follow its example.

I liked the cartoonish image I tried to paint of the "Crocodile Dundee" slasher/doctors combating with the "local pastor" over whether or not to carve the unfortunate patient open... those Aussies are a crazed bunch!

I am glad, however, and will continue to hope that all of these parties are doing well and in good health, no matter in what fashion that health was achieved.

I share a lot of your skepticism in matters like these, Timmy, but the overall tone of the "testimony" does make me feel rather certain that any of LS's acolytes who might read this will NOT forsake the counsel of their doctors when needed.

Hope you're right.
