Thanking 'god' but not the medical staff

UglyBolloxFace · 22-04-2012 11:40AM #1

This pisses me off.

Muamba, the footballer who collapses on the football pitch, was struck with a heart attack. His heart stopped beating naturally for over 78 minutes, and it was 'a miracle' that he did not have brain damage.

But the thing is, instead of thanking the medical staff who actually saved his life, he thanks an imaginary friend in the sky. How disrespectful can you get to the medical staff? They are in the most under-appreciated profession anyway without these loons disregarding them like this.

For 78 minutes I was dead and even if I lived was expected to have suffered brain damage. But I'm very much alive and sitting here talking now. Someone up there was watching over me.

Fabrice Muamba admitted he will 'forever be in debt' to the doctors who saved his life after he was released from hospital, 30 days after being admitted after his horrifying cardiac arrest.

Muamba, who received messages of support from across the world while in hospital, said: "I am naturally very pleased to be discharged from hospital and would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to every single member of staff at the London Chest Hospital who have played a part in my care.

"Their dedication, professionalism and expertise is simply amazing and I will forever be in their debt. I also wish to say thank you to all the many well-wishers who have sent thousands of messages of support.

"Now I am out of hospital, I am looking forward to continuing my recovery and spending precious time with my family.''

Because to him and his faith, god helped those people save his life. What's the big deal? I saw the pictures of him thanking the staff too so get over it!

Father Damo · 22-04-2012 11:44AM

If you could be arsed beyond the haze of your atheist **** attack he thanked each and every member of the London Chest Hospital from the doctors to the paras and nurses, in a separate statement. I would go and link it to you but people with this level of intellect dont derserve my ctrl plus v.

Further proof that millitant atheists shoudnt be allowed to communicate without a responsible adult by their side.

ladypip · 22-04-2012 11:44AM

Muamba paid treatment to the doctor, saying: "It was pure chance that Dr Deaner was in the crowd that day. I owe him everything. He is the reason I have been able to hold my baby son again and continue my life."

Thats from the same article, Im sure they meant to write tribute not treatment.

lividduck · 22-04-2012 11:44AM

I think its just a human thing, we instictivley say "Thank God", I wouldn't read too much into it.:)

Best of luck to him.
You have a right to be an Atheist, he has a right to believe in God.
It's called free will, i'd prefer if it was called mind your own affairs and stop being annoyed at others, whatever they want to believe.

44leto · 22-04-2012 11:48AM

Well it is certainly another matter, a very serious one, when the Doctors get the God complex, examples would be Harold Shipman or our own Micheal Neary and many more.

So leave the patients believing in god rather then people thinking the doctors are god.

How disrespectful can you be to selectively quote someone (In a way that doesn't even befit a tabloid) to try and make them out to be disrespectful?

What's even worse is you did it just for a chance to get in a dig at religion.

BrianD3 · 22-04-2012 12:07PM

Medical staff themselves will sometimes mention God when talking to patients and families. A couple of examples I can think of (one said by a consultant surgeon, the other by a consultant anaesthetist)

"We've done what we can for her now please God she'll pull through"

"I can't predict what will happen now, I'm not God although sometimes I wish I was, keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best"

Maybe it was the devil who struck him down and god saved him.

I'd be pretty pissed off as well if i was afflicted by a disease that means when reading an article I can only comprehend the parts that might raise my ire a bit.

You poor bastard.

We'll have a collection for you next week.

How do you feel now? Considering how utterly wrong you were.

GLaDOS · 22-04-2012 12:20PM

Even with the amazing efforts of medical personal, there was still an element of luck in him surviving. Piermario Morosini didn't get the same luck.

I'm an atheist but I can understand how if you had faith you might attribute this to god.

lividduck · 22-04-2012 12:23PM

Jesus Christ help us all! not another religon thread, all I can say is thank God I'm an athiest:D

Thanking 'god' but not the medical staff
