Bingo, here you have inadvertently described the attitude of the type of deeply believing believers you are condemning.
James 5:14
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord...
(PS, doctors did exist in James' day, yet no mention at this opportune time.)
15 And the
prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
Seems faith is scripturally discharged upon calling for the elders to pray per the above. After that, things appear to be in the god's hands, according to his explicit promise above.
No?
