Both belief types can affect the outcome of patient care.
- krapp 7y ago>I'm guessing that some people wouldn't want to see a doctor who believed that ultimately my life had no value. That's not a valid counterpoint. It assumes that only people of faith believe that life has value, and that medical practitioners who don't believe in an eternal soul are somehow categorically more reckless as a result. >Both belief types can affect the outcome of patient care. Not nearly as much as avoiding modern medicine and believing that prayer, homeopathy and magic crystals will heal your cancer.
