Doctors

 I saw a great quote on Facebook a while ago. It said, "Doctors are the same are robbers. They both cut you open and take all your money." :)

A ton of people worship doctors. As in they pretty much put doctors in the place of God. :( Why? The reason is because at some point either they or their child was in serious need of having their life saved, and a doctor saved their life. From then on, without realizing it, they decided to worship doctors. 

Doctors have saved my life a few times. Once I fell off my bike on my face when I was about 6. It was a very hard fall. :( My face was covered in blood. If doctors did not stitch my gums up, I most likely would have bled to death. 

Another time when I was 12 my appendix got infected and it exploded. Doctors saved my life and cleaned up my insides from all the appendix poison. On a side note though, I have wondered lately if that happened after my multiple Hep B vaccines right before that. I remember thinking even as a kid, "Why do I need this shot multiple times? That seems shady." 

Then a few years ago I had gall stones. Doctors again saved my life by taking out my gall bladder. If they hadn't done that, I probably would have died. 

After all that, do I choose to worship doctors? No. I am grateful for them. But I will never worship them. I only worship God. God saved me through those doctors. It wasn't just the doctors that saved me. God does miracles today through healthcare. 

The problem though is that God allows Satan also to work through healthcare. I had an ex a while ago who told me, "Doctors don't want you to get well. They want you to stay sick so they can make more money off of you." He ironically died due to doctors. He was prescribed one too many pills and it was just too much for his body to handle. He was on an anti-depressant called Klonopin, Cialis to fix the side effects of the Klonopin, Testosterone shots, and the day he died, a random clinic doctor gave him anti-biotics. He was just sneezing a lot that day. That was his only symptom. :( That night he went out drinking and he died. It wasn't just the drinking that killed him. It was drinking and having way too many pills in his body. None of the doctors made it super clear that drinking in addition to all those pills could be deadly. Maybe back then, 10 years ago, they just didn't know. Some people don't care. They take pills and drink as if they want to die. In that case, it isn't just the doctors who are to blame, obviously. 

Overall, are doctors to be worshipped? No of course not. They are not God. They may act like they are. They may want you to believe everything they say without questioning it. But you can be smart too. Maybe you didn't go to 12 years of college, but you can be just as wise as them if you want to be. Just do the research on what you need to research so you can be wise too. 

Don't ever worship doctors. Only worship God.
