Comment on What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body)

The most prevalent has got to be, "We prayed and -insert name- recovered - it’s a miracle!
And if the person dies: “It’s the will of God.”

When doctors save a person, “God saved this person!”
No, it was Dr. Jakobs but go on

Just to play the devil’s advocate: many of those thanking God are more expressing thanks for the circumstances that led to recovery. That includes that doctor, along with whatever knowledge and skill they have as a result of years of study and hard work. i.e. God put that doctor in their lives, rather than some quack.

But maybe they could thank the doctor first.

Not taking away from the doctor and their experience and knowledge but fuck do nurses get the short end of the stick.
They do 95% of the work and rarely get the credit (or pay) they deserve.
