Prayer?

[Oakvale]

Subjective belief is a powerful thing, and no doubt given that, prayer for some has a soothing psychological effect. Just because it does not float my boat, is not going to cause me to be critical of someone because it floats theirs. If it works, go for it.

Basically this. As long as someone isn't putting off going to the hospital because they're counting on prayer or something, it's pretty much harmless, and makes the person doing the praying feel like they're helping.
