Real Physicians. Real Stories. Real Miracles Near Theater District, Phan Rang
For the physicians in Dr. Scott Kolbaba's book who pray before performing surgery, the act of prayer is not a rejection of their surgical training but a completion of it. They have mastered the technical skills, reviewed the imaging, planned the approach — and then they pause to acknowledge that the outcome depends on factors beyond their control. This combination of preparation and humility characterizes the finest surgical practice, and Kolbaba documents it with reverence. For surgeons in Theater District, Phan Rang, Central Vietnam, these accounts validate a practice that many share but few discuss, demonstrating that pre-surgical prayer is not superstition but an expression of the same honest reckoning with uncertainty that defines all good medicine.
