You know, articles like this upset me, because I know so many medical professionals.

There are miracle outcomes. Doctors pray for them.

They are also charged with conveying their knowledge, science, probably outcomes and experience.

Then, when a blessed outcome occurs, they are portrayed as somehow HOPING for the worst, when they are merely warning of what is reasonable to expect.

Give them a break. They are not priests or prophets. They only know what almost always happens.

I certainly agree with what you are saying but negativity can become a bit of a disease itself in the medical profession and with some (not all) professionals the negativity can undermine the will to try or to offer any hope!
