Medical Miracle? She was on Chemo!!!!

July 2, 2009 10:47 am

So, this women is on chemotherapy and has surgery to remove her tumors. They luckily don’t come back, and she is cured. While her doctors were busy using science to save her life, she’s given a disgusting old finger bone of some obscure dead priest by friend, and suddenly, we’re supposed to forget the fact that she was being treated for cancer and that a divine miracle is what saved her. So while the real story is that we have another victory for science, these morons focus on the fact that she is wearing a creepy necklace. Surely her survival must be the work of God! After all, he wouldn’t want this obviously brilliant woman to join Him in his magical Funland just yet.

Great job Fox News in proving once again that you have no journalistic credibility whatsoever.

Its a fallacy called “Post hoc argumentunm”

So sad how millions living in a modern society are still stuck on primitive practices like carrying around bones of dead people

Well, her doctor did pretty much tell her that she was going to die despite the chemotherapy – I think it was supposed to be palliative care rather than actually therapeutic. That’s what I understood from the news articles, anyway.
‘Post hoc, ergo propter hoc’ is still a logical fallacy, of course, but I feel bad critiquing a little old lady who was lucky enough to get a ‘miraculous’ reprieve from death…

There’s no such thing as palliative chemotherapy. They don`t treat you if there’s no chance of survival.
