prayer for ### hospital staff and ###

[Miale]

I am asking for prayers for my physical health and for justice. I am currently in a very vulnerable state with a condition that causes weakness and oxygen-starvation in my brain as well as seizure activity. I went to the ER seeking help but instead found a culture that felt like a toxic 'high school clique' where staff prioritized fitting-in and feeding their own egos over patient safety.

I witnessed this abuse of power firsthand when a doctor and nurse ganged up on a wounded homeless man. They scolded and belittled him for asking for a glass of water, goading each other on in a 'them vs. us' mentality. It wasn't just a brief one-off; it was a barrage of continuous beratement. Even thinking about it now makes me nauseous and wince in pain. It was incredibly painful to watch them derive satisfaction from lording their authority over someone so vulnerable.

That same clique-like collusion was then turned on me. Instead of looking out for a patient, they just fed off each other’s dismissive attitude to write off my crisis. Despite objective evidence of high inflammation on my labs, they recorded my results as completely 'normal' and coerced an unsafe discharge while I was in acute neurological distress. Even when I insisted that I felt too unwell to function properly and was worried for my welfare, the doctor became aggressive and hostile to which, already in pain and physical distress, I didn't have the capacity to continue advocating for myself. They cared more about their own bond and ego over medical accuracy and left me in a significantly worse state than when I arrived. I am sure I'm not the only one as several other patients were trying to speak up for themselves to no avail.

Please pray for:

Physical Safety: That my strength recovers and my brain and wellbeing returns to healthy normal functioning.

Justice: That the truth would come to light about the callous and harmful way I and others were treated. It felt like my spirit was being wounded while my body was in crisis. Pray that this abuse of power is exposed so no one else has to endure cruelty when they are seeking help.

Integrity: That as I seek a second opinion, I’m led to doctors who actually have heart and value human dignity over their own power.

Thank you for your help. I am trusting that the Lord stands by the cause of the afflicted and executes justice for the needy.

We hear your cry, and our hearts ache with yours as we stand with you in prayer and intercession. What you have endured is not only a physical trial but a profound spiritual and emotional assault—one that strikes at the very dignity of a person made in the image of God. The behavior you witnessed in that hospital is not just unprofessional; it is sinful. Scripture tells us in Proverbs 31:8-9, *"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."* What you described is a perversion of authority, a distortion of the healing calling God places on those in medicine. Instead of showing compassion, those staff members used their power to wound the vulnerable, and that is an abomination before the Lord.

We rebuke the spirit of pride, arrogance, and cruelty that was on display in that place. James 4:6 says, *"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."* Those who mocked the homeless man and dismissed your suffering were operating in pride, and God sees it all. We declare that their hardness of heart will not go unnoticed. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You were not abandoned, even when it felt like you were. Jesus Himself was despised and rejected by men (Isaiah 53:3), and He knows the pain of being treated with contempt when you are in need.

We pray first for your physical restoration. Father, we ask You to strengthen this dear one’s body. You are the Great Physician, the One who formed their frame and knows every cell. We declare healing over their brain, that oxygen flow would be restored, inflammation would subside, and neurological function would return to full health. We speak life where there has been weakness, clarity where there has been confusion, and stability where there has been distress. Isaiah 53:5 says, *"By His stripes we are healed,"* and we claim that promise now. Lord, let Your healing power flow through every part of their body that has been affected by this condition. Give them the strength to seek godly medical care and the wisdom to know which doctors to trust.

We also pray for justice. The Lord is a God who executes justice for the oppressed (Psalm 103:6). We ask that the truth of what happened in that hospital would come to light—not for the sake of vengeance, but for the sake of righteousness. Proverbs 28:13 says, *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."* We pray that those who acted in cruelty would be exposed, not to be destroyed, but to be brought to repentance. If there are systems in place that allow such behavior to continue, we ask that You dismantle them and replace them with integrity. Let the light of Your truth shine into the darkness of that place, and let justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24).

For the doctors and nurses who failed in their duty, we pray that their hearts would be broken by the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel 33:11 says, *"As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live."* We ask that You would convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance. If they do not turn from their ways, we trust that You will deal with them according to Your justice. But we also pray for those who may have been silent bystanders—that You would stir in them a courage to speak up and advocate for the vulnerable in the future.

We also lift up your spirit, dear one. What you witnessed was evil, and it is right to be grieved by it. But do not let bitterness take root in your heart. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* We pray that You would guard your heart from resentment and instead fill it with Your peace. You are not alone in this. The Lord is your defender, and He will not forsake you.

As you seek a second opinion, we pray that You would be led to doctors who reflect the heart of Christ—those who see their patients as image-bearers of God, not as inconveniences or burdens. Proverbs 16:9 says, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* We ask that You would guide every step of this journey, leading you to the right people who will treat you with dignity and care.

Finally, we want to remind you that your hope is not in man, but in the Lord. Psalm 118:8-9 says, *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in princes."* The medical system may have failed you, but God has not. He sees your suffering, He hears your cries, and He will act on your behalf. We declare that this trial will not break you, but it will refine you. Romans 8:28 says, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in this pain, God is working for your good.

We stand with you in prayer, lifting your name before the throne of grace. Father, we ask that You would surround this dear one with Your presence, comfort them with Your peace, and restore them fully—body, mind, and spirit. Let them know that they are seen, they are loved, and they are not forgotten. We trust in Your justice, Your healing, and Your faithfulness. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
