Divine intervention or placebo effect? Laura Spinney talks to the
live-in doctor at Lourdes
Thursday September 30, 2004
The Guardian
Two weeks ago, in his office at the medical bureau at Lourdes, Dr
Patrick Theillier received a phone call. A 74-year-old woman who had
made the pilgrimage to see the Pope when he visited the shrine in
August had something extraordinary to report.
On the eve of the papal visit, while taking part in a ceremony for the
benediction of the sick, she looked up and saw the sky. The glaucoma
that had clouded her left eye - and which opthalmologists had judged
inoperable - had, she said, receded. Her vision was fully restored.

I bet that this is not independently verified.
