Patient Gives Life To Christ After Surgeon Prays Over Him Before Surgery

Miraculous moment of salvation

A top surgeon was able to lead a patient to God after praying over him before his surgery.

We are so thankful to God for the skilled men and women surgeons who work under great pressure, often with limited time, to do what they must.The crucial surgery had to be canceled initially as the patient’s blood pressure was too high to give anesthesia. It was a do-or-die moment, but Dr. Michael Haglund, one of the top cervical surgeons, prayed to God about it. After a few minutes, the patient’s blood pressure dropped low enough for anesthesia to be administered, and the surgery proceeded.Dr. Haglund shared about the incident, saying, “The anesthesiologist comes into the room and says, ‘Mike, we’re not going to be able to do the surgery.’” After questioning why the surgery was to be canceled, Dr. Haglund recalled the anesthesiologist replying, ‘Cause his blood pressure is like 220/120. We can’t put someone to sleep with that kind of blood pressure.’

Dr. Haglund decided to pray over the patient before officially canceling the surgery, to which the anesthesiologist reportedly responded, ‘Okay, fine, whatever.’” His prayer resulted in the patient’s blood pressure dropping. “So, I go on, and I pray for him, and he calms down a little bit. It went from 220 down to like 170,” Dr. Haglund said. “We do his surgery, he does great, the pain’s gone, and he gets back to work in two weeks,” he shared.Meanwhile, a miracle was taking place in the patient’s spiritual life. Six weeks after the surgery, he returned to the hospital to tell Dr. Haglund that “something changed.”“I see him at six weeks, and he comes in. He goes, ‘You know that prayer you prayed for me?’ And I go, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Something changed. Something’s different.’ And so, right there in the clinic, we prayed, and he accepted Christ, and you know, that’s what it’s all about,” Dr. Haglund shared.Prayer has been found to have a profound effect on patients who pray or have family members praying for them in the hospital. If you have a praying surgeon who believes in God, there’s nothing like it.
