If God alone has the power to heal, then why were doctors created?
This child died needlessly because two parents couldn’t take their blinders off and look at the whole picture.
There’s always a time for faith and prayer - but there’s always a time for common sense too.

Note that the disciple Luke was in fact a physician himself. Faith and the practice of medicine are not at all incompatable, in fact they compliment each other. Was there any malicious intent on the part of the parents? At first glance one would have to say 'absolutely not', and their lack of judgment will haunt them the rest of their days.
On the other hand, I would be willing to bet you a sizable amount of money that the number of people dying from the failure of Christians to seek medical care is far exceeded by the number of people who die every year due to the malpractice and poor judgment of some of those medical professionals.
