Faith in God Over Doctors Influences End of Life Views
A 1000 adult survey in Archives of Surgery shows 51 percent believe divine intervention could save a dying family member even if doctors deem treatment futile. About 75 percent support patients’ right to demand such treatment, with doctors noting the need to handle families awaiting a miracle and still present medical evidence. The study, led by Dr Lenworth Jacobs, notes trauma cases push institutions to balance faith with realistic prognoses, as hospitals employ social workers, counselors and chaplains in end of life care.
