You aren't required to use medical services. Hey, if you have gangrene in your leg from a severe infection, it won't bother me in the least if you choose not to have a medical professional take care of it.
Can God take care of it? Sure. I certainly believe He can and would. But if His answer is NO, what then? Will you die and leave your family without a husband and father because you want to beat your chest for the 'I trust only God' issue, when surgery and medications will take care of that problem?
Sure, that's your choice to make, but don't blame me if I think you are selfish in making it.

Your education blinds you to a lot of things, Sister. It's ok though. I've seen the same lack of faith in other people in the medical field. All you ever think about is going to see someone for what ails you. Instead of God being your first thought, your first thought is what pill you can take or what treatment is available. When is the last time you had something wrong with you where you didn't take any kind of medicine whatsoever? When is the last time you purposefully decided that you would rely solely on prayer for something that ailed you? No doctors. No pills. No treatment whatsoever. My guess is that it has been a long time, if at all. I am not against people seeing doctors. I've seen them myself. However, there's a lot to be said for choosing to forego man's wisdom, along with all his devices, and relying exclusively on God for healing. There's nothing wrong with mixing your trust in God with trust in man's abilities, but you can't honestly lay claim to completely trusting the Lord for your body if you choose to take medicines and go to doctors for treatment.
