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.

When you said Lay person I thought you were talking ecclesiastics
BTW are the people that are conveying this story here going off transcripts of LS's words?
