So he can't breathe because the IV was taken out? Seems legit...

[–]emkat 59 points60 points ago

The author is an atheist, therefore he is not wrong about science

Don't want to be a negative ned, but it's not too far-fetched.

Also, intravenous cyclophosphamide for patients with a restrictive lung disease such as IPF can help improve pulmonary function if steroids and other treatments aren't working.

Okay, done being a spoilsport. It's highly unlikely that an IV drug can help lung function. That was the first thing I thought, too, until I pulled out a big book, so upvotes for thinking alike.

[–]ipatrician 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, as soon as I posted that, I realize that there probably was something like this. Don't blame me though, I'm just a mathematics major who has been chained to the whiteboard for the past 3 years. I don't even remember what the outdoors look like. One more year to go! :)

You're definitely not being a negative ned though, it's always interesting to hear about the advancements that scientists have made recently. It truly is amazing.

[–]tarabluh 27 points28 points ago

That was literally an episode of House.

[–]FrisianDude 1 point2 points ago

I just remembered, yes, he was convinced he was in a dream and to snap out of it he ripped a patient in half or something?

[–]tarabluh 1 point2 points ago

Nah, I was thinking a more recent one where basically the family wanted to do their religious ritual and he was super firmly against them doing it and it was very r/atheism.

[–]FrisianDude 1 point2 points ago

Haven't watched House in years, so I must not have seen that one.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That was every episode of House.

[–]Apollo64 0 points1 point ago

Because scribblings on paper totally represent what you want in real life, right?

Also, it's funny how doctor's actually do turn people away for not being religious, though.

I'd like a doctor who cures me no matter what either of us believes.

Switch it around. A girl needs an emergency abortion to save her life... but she's got the bad luck of being inside a Christian Hospital when she needs it.

Not... not as justified.

[–]pizzlewizzle 15 points16 points ago

Yeah! What an asshole for being thankful for prayers!

[–]Chriszilla1123 7 points8 points ago

Its fine being thankful for prayers, as long as your also thankful for the medicine and doctors who are helping you.

[–]pizzlewizzle 10 points11 points ago

I don't think anyone is ungrateful to them. Even if someone thinks it was 100% faith that saved them I doubt they are ungrateful to the doctors who took time to look after them. For example say at work if someone does something for me but I feel what they did was not effective I still appreciate their effort.

[–]DoubtfulCritic 1 point2 points ago

That is one thing I hate when you try to help someone and mess up and they get mad at you. If you are helping someone to the best of your ability and something random happens that screws it all up they have no right to be mad about it.

[–]ChrisDuhFir 2 points3 points ago

An possesses the strange ability to absorb oxygen through an IV.

[–]dzzt229 1 point2 points ago

What i find interesting about this comic is there are two definitions to "<Insert reason> are/is keeping me alive!".

Obviously, the easiest to notice is a literal meaning so, the reason is literally what someone thinks is keeping them alive.

The second is figurative and they know all to well what is keeping them alive but prefers acknowledge something that makes life worth living or makes them feel good instead.

Only drugs and religion do this. I prefer the drugs.

[–]deathstar_janitor 27 points28 points ago

[–]jzieg 2 points3 points ago

Really? What episode was this? That thing could start fires, open non-wooden locks, destroy security cameras at a distance, hack most electronic systems in the galaxy, even store an entire human mind for a short period of time. And it always looked like he was pressing the same button every time.

[–]FireAndSunshine 2 points3 points ago

It's happened a lot with Matt Smith, and I believe it occurred with the older Doctors as well.

Also, he was only pushing one button because it uses psychic signals to work.

[–]AbramsLullaby 1 point2 points ago

The last christmas episode revolving around a huge forest. A building was made out of living trees and the screwdriver couldn't open the lock.

[–]nxtm4n 0 points1 point ago

It can't open wooden locks, as you yourself said, since it doesn't work on wood.

Netflix has the first couple seasons of the revived series; I think it has 1-5, but not 6 yet. If you're going to buy it, Amazon will probably have it, but it would probably be cheaper to watch on Amazon.

[–]Mew151 0 points1 point ago

Clearly this doctor is a genius. He discovered the long-sought treatment which reverts members of the Blue Man Group back into their original human forms. Unfortunately for this ungrateful troupe member, it looks as if he will be returning to the stage.

[–]paranode 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. Isn't He great? In just our lifetime He has taken such an interest in helping to cure and treat so many illnesses coincidentally alongside scientific discoveries? We are so lucky because He has ignored these things for millennia but has now decided we are special! His name be praised!

[–]englishred 22 points23 points ago

Really r/atheism? Up voting this crap? Is the patient oppressing someone? No. Is he imposing his beliefs on others? No. Then why not let the little fucker hold on to his beliefs if it makes him happy and gives him hope. You can't bitch about how intolerant Christians are and then turn around and say "Faith shouldn't be allowed because I think so". Plenty of Christians are ordinary folk who wear pants and eat cheese like the rest of us. If you feel like you've been oppressed by Christians: fine, be angry. But you have to take the higher road. Good people will always side with the people not acting like assholes. It's not immediate. It takes time, but it happens.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

This is kind of a dick move on OP part, knowing that others are praying for me is uplifting and it means that people care even if you don't have the same beliefs.

[–]pizzlewizzle 7 points8 points ago

Exactly. The knowledge that his family is praying for him actually IS helping him to stay alive. The mind and positive thinking have a LOT to do with healing and survival, seriously. Not solely. But they can make a considerable difference. This is the exact reason drug studies have to have placebos.

[–]darkops32 6 points7 points ago

I, on the other hand, do not want a doctor that will fuck with my life just because of his personal beliefs.

[–]goidberg 5 points6 points ago

[–]emkat 4 points5 points ago

I do not want a doctor to treat human life as some sort of polemic. That goes against everything medicine stands for.

[–]pizzlewizzle 4 points5 points ago

I never understood bashing people for positive effects of faith. The mind has a LOT more to do with healing than most people realize. The knowledge that his family is praying for him may truly have been enough to help him survive. This is not a case of railing against 'prayer over medicine', this is simply bashing faith for the sake of it.

[–]cleverseneca 0 points1 point ago

What if we look at this issue from a Victor Frankl Perspective. Why cannot both statements be true. Its true that the Doctor's work and medicine is keeping the boy alive, but perhaps the boy's belief in his friends prayers, no matter whether they are offered in vain, is important to his survival of the suffering.

Frankl concludes from his experience that a prisoner's psychological reactions are not solely the result of the conditions of his life, but also from the freedom of choice he always has even in severe suffering. The inner hold a prisoner has on his spiritual self relies on having a hope in the future, and that once a prisoner loses that hope, he is doomed.

If we view his statement through this lens, to discourage the boy's belief in his friends prayers to even an imagined deity would be detrimental to his health and well being. It could be argued that even such an action of a discouragement of faith would be a breaking of his Hippocratic Oath.

if you see a problem with this line of thinking please share with me a thoughtful response as to where it lacks merit.

[–]Broberry 0 points1 point ago

Sorry to be so late to the party, but I'm curious. Do you really think that all Christians are like that? And by "that" I mean how you're describing them.

[–]SomeGamerKid 0 points1 point ago

[–]DefenestratorOfSouls 0 points1 point ago

Settle down, people; it's just a joke. If we found a real doctor who actually did this, we'd all be outraged and upset and of course demand his license be revoked. It's just a little comic about how funny it would be if the reality of prayer's ineffectiveness was suddenly made very real for someone who hadn't been giving their doctor the gratitude they likely deserve. It's funny because obviously the Christian wasn't counting on the medicine being taken away, not because the Christian's getting what he deserves or something.

Everybody says there is this CIRCLEJERKING problem in r/atheism. Everybody says this r/atheism CIRCLEJERKING problem will be solved when the admins remove r/atheism and only r/atheism from the default subreddits.

r/gaming and r/science are circlejerks just like r/atheism, but nobody says r/gaming or r/science will solve their CIRCLEJERKING problem by being removed as default subreddits.

Everybody says the solution to this CIRCLEJERKING problem is for r/atheism and ONLY r/atheism to be cast away as a default.

What if I said there was this CIRCLEJERKING problem in r/politics and this CIRCLEJERKING problem in r/politics would be solved only if r/politics were removed as a default subreddit?

How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a CIRCLEJERKING problem. I am talking about the solution to the LIBERAL problem?

And how long would it take a liberal to notice this and what kind of censorship-loving moron wouldn't object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of persecution against my belief system, religious conservatives and ultra-PC liberals agree that I am a dawkinsworshippingneckbeard.

They say they are anti-r/atheism. What they are is anti-atheist.

Anti-r/atheism is a code for for anti-atheism.

You say this because you're an ignorant moron. You're blithely ignorant of the many ways in which religion is negatively affecting your life and that of others. You're welcome to stay dumb and continue playing ostrich, but you really have no business getting on the backs of people like me who are knowledgeable and give a fuck about humanity beyond themselves. Aggressively stupid dumbfucks like you are a significant reason why I have to keep on raising awareness of what happens when you allow people to complacently watch as religions pawn your ass. Why don't you take your own advice and try minding your own goddamn business for a bit, and taking the opportunity to learn something about the world you're trying to tell me about?

[–]DefenestratorOfSouls -1 points0 points ago

Oh, gosh; it's in ALL CAPS BOLD SO YOU KNOW IT MUST BE TRUE! Did you even read into my post? Because I said pretty much the opposite of that. Again, it's not funny because someone who disagrees with us is dying, it's funny because it aknowledges the silent fact that even Christians who claim to believe in the power of prayer still at least subconsciously realize that medicine is more real than prayer. If the doctor said, "With all due respect sir, I believe the medicine is keeping you alive" or a quip like "Sure it's not the medicine? Haha." it would be the same kind of joke, it just wouldn't have the same effect. So calm down, no need to get all sensationalist "OMG atheists think killing Christians is funny!!!1!!1!"

[–]Paux 0 points1 point ago

Yea it was about 20 years ago. It happened to me at my dad's funeral. He wasn't religious, but some woman he didn't even like got up and started singing some religious song. I jumped up and started raging at the entire place. I flipped my shit and started saying every cuss word I could think of. I raged for a while and stormed out. My dad was prominent in the community and there was a lot of people there all dressed up and I had on an old Subhumans tshirt. It was actually pretty awesome, I wish someone would have filmed it.

[–]DefenestratorOfSouls 0 points1 point ago

Neat. How'd that make you feel? Any regrets, or were you glad you didn't hold it in?

[–]Paux 0 points1 point ago

How'd that make you feel?

It did piss me off that he was misrepresented. The woman singing was the last straw. Several others had gotten all preachy and shit too.

I would love to see it, my memory of the event is fuzzy. It wasn't about me. It was about my dad. I was pissed of and he couldn't defend himself. It was made out at the funeral that he was some hugely religious person, but he wasn't.

[–]BebMaster 0 points1 point ago

Not that I share that conception of prayer, but I suppose people like that would say that medecine is the manifestarion of god. I've never asked though.

[–]fuzzb0y 0 points1 point ago

I showed this to my Christian friend and she argues that perhaps the boy phrased his prayers in such a way where he is to be kept safe which would include praying that the needle remains stuck in him.

Goddamn, these comics are shit. They're not funny, they're poorly drawn, and they just rehash the same old shit over and over without being clever. I have no problem with critical thinking or atheism, but if you're going to make it into a comic at least put some effort into it.

If he wants me to thank him, he shouldn't demand payment.

He treats my health because it's his job. Not because he actually cares about anyone. The only reason anyone gets a doctorate is because it's such a high-paying profession.

Why would you want a fucking shitty entitled doctor who would threaten to kill you unless you repeatedly pledged fealty to him, and thanked him for "letting you live". It's like having a pizza-delivery man who ejaculates onto your pizza if you don't give him a 90% tip.

[–]Bweeeeeeep 0 points1 point ago

Okay, so, I think the comic is stupid too.

But you don't think your doctor would appreciate being thanked? You don't thank people who help you out, even when they are being paid to do so? I thank the pizza guy, and I still pay him.

In addition, I can assure you that most people in the medical industry DO care. There are other jobs where you can make as much money with half the training and hours. The reason that some choose medicine is because they like a) science and b) people.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Oh, you took advantage of my desperation to charge me thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, thank you so much!
