Physicians' Views of Faith, Prayer and Miracles

I found this survey quite astonishing. Holiday Season Survey Reveals Physicians' Views of Faith, Prayer and Miracles.

• A majority of doctors (55%) said they have seen treatment results in their patients they would consider miraculous.
• Most physicians pray for their patients as a group (51%).
• Even more, 59% pray for individual patients.
• 67% encourage their patients to pray
