Thank God for Broken Necks

Someone in one of my online classes was telling us a story of how his wife was in a car accident and nearly broke her neck or something.  I was only partly paying attention because my hockey game was on at the same time, so I only caught half the story.  By everyone's reaction to his story, it appeared it was a pretty serious situation.  He went on to say that the doctors had fixed her up real nice and she was feeling much better.  The reactions to this were less than amusing. 

"God works miracles!"

"Thank God!  I'm so glad she's okay!"

"Prayers really work...!"

and my favourite , in which he personally said was,

"God is good!"

Wait, what?  God is good?  Your wife was in a car accident that almost broke her neck and GOD IS GOOD? 

How about those doctors who spent about 12 years studying night after night after night to learn how to fix your wife's almost-broken-neck?  Do they get any thanks?   Are THEY any good?

What if, perhaps, your wife's neck DID break?  Would GOD still be good -OR- would that have just been in his divine plan?   I have a real difficult time understanding how people who have these strong beliefs in their God can so easily overlook doctors and other medical staff who are the true saviours of their loved one's lives.

And I won't even get into why we give thanks to gawd for our food when it's ME who spent the two hours cooking the shit...
