A Christian has a heart-attack, his wife calls 911. Two atheist paramedics arrive and safely rush him to ER?


The ER doctor is a Budhist and keeps the man alive, until an operating room is available. The catholic Heart Surgeon performs triple by-pass surgery. The entire team of medical people, the anestheologist, the nurses, the people who prep and sterilize the equipment....etc, etc, are a mixed group of many beliefs.

The Christian man wakes, from his surgery and his family is there at his bedside and they say......"we are so happy you made it....we spent all night praying for you".

In your opinion, who was responsible for saving the man's life and why?

i happen to be on one of those teams and i can tell you, it's a team effort, no faith or religion is needed

The entire team of medical people, duh. He would've likely died without them.

The medical people not their religious beliefs.

Everyone

The medical team, duh!
okay if the guy had a heart attack and hadn't gone to the hospital, would that praying have saved him? I think not!

It was a team effort. Thanks to the prayers, God manifested his will through the Medical team.

God. Without God, all man's knowledge, effort and work is useless.

Everyone who assisted in his recovery.

well, the medical team. lol

The entire team of medical professionals. The love and support of his family was beneficial too.

His wife, she called 911.

Well.......the atheist medics since the wife didn't get her butt in a car and drive him to the E.R! LOL
I tell my (rascist) uncle all the time he's going to get his life saved by an illegal-alien black gay man. LOL I hope so........

his family.... they choulda just let his *** die and not call 911.

but overall everyone involved saved his life no one person or group of people.

both.

just because they didn't believe in God...doesn't mean he couldn't do anything.


if the medical team wasn't there, he would have died

GOD is in control of the whole situation no matter who the people involved are.

Jesus is the truth, the way and the life!

"Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"

(Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad)

Everyone who did anything to help him of course from the person who called 911, to the medical personnel to the people who sterlized the equipment or actually even made it months before he ever had his heart attack. Why is this even a question? What is it suppose to prove or determine?

thats the weirdest joke I've heard yet

In my opinion, the people involved in the man's rescue were solely responsible for saving his life.

The alternative view implies that credit for anything good goes to God, and blame for anything bad goes to Man. If he'd died, it would be the doctor's fault, but since he lived, God is Great.

Being a paramedic for many years, experience would tell me that if the wife didn't call 911 in the first place, he wouldn't have even meet any of the other people from different religions, or no religion along the way, so she wins the award!

The medical team and a good amount of luck (also termed as probability of a positive outcome).

I like this story.

The medical team......however I believe that the good intentions of others will always be useful in healing. I personally like to chant and dance around naked....LOL

And God said, "let there be Light, and there was light.."

No one else "deserves" the credit.

The medical team. What could have happened if the man stayed home and his wife just prayed for him?

Well sure, the entire group was responsible for saving this man's life, but wouldn't have had the opportunity if the WIFE hadn't first called 911.

The person who called 911 did help save the womans life.And the medical team did the rest to save her.

"God" indeed, but The Humanity tried there best as well.

The entire team helped out in their own way. But I guess the person who was most responsible was the surgeon, but everyone played their part. Whatever their beliefs, it did not factor into this situation.

An old man arrives at a hospital and a very young woman performs surgery on his heart. He opens his eyes 4 days later and finds out a woman saved him....... Should he be upset because it is a woman that saved him, or because the hospital is careless to supply a child for his aid?.....

A KKK member is going into convulsions falls upon the ground, A black man seeing the man jerking, runs to his aid, offering CPR. The KKK member can now breathe on his own, but goes into a coma....... a month later finds out that a black man saved him...... Is he thankful for his life?.... or is he upset he still has it because of a black man?...

I say... when it comes to life and death... and a man passes it up for the sake of prejudice in any form........... He certainly is a fool that deserves to die in as great a pain as is suffered upon him...

Medical science?

all that had anything to do with his care.

Praying the family did was for their peace of mind.
but still God did have a hand in it.
