5 or so years ago, I had cataract surgery.

Before the operation started (I was awake for it), the surgeon asked - “Do you mind if I say a little prayer before I start?”

My response was (as I am a still photographer) “I hope you do!”

I have had two different doctors pray before surgeries. It really is a blessing!

Before my abdominal surgery in 2016, my surgeon came to my curtained prep area and asked for us " to pray together to the Lord, to guide his hands and eyes and for my outcome and for my family".

Three months later I got a card from his office explaining all his patient files being moved to another doctor. At the time he operated on me for three hours, he was in final stage cancer. He died about 12 weeks after operating on me. He chose to spend his final time saving others. A real life lesson there.

Very good to see a humble doctor who realizes that they are only part of the healing...a big part...but realize there are higher benevolent powers
