I really do hate this.

"Thank God you survived the surgery. The lord was watching over you"

"How about the surgeons? Do they get any credit?"

The medical guy standing next to her is clearly thinking something along those lines, based on his expression.

A friend of mine is a surgeon, and he told me he really struggles not to lose his shit when he hears people thanking God after he has been standing on his feet for multiple hours to save someone's life.

God might got the credit, but the surgeon got the insurance money.
