They go to another faith healer. Professional courtesy.

Isn't it odd that only non-visible ailments are "cured" by faith?

Why is there not one valid, documented case of a missing limb, organ, or eye being regenerated after it has been amputated or excised?

The day that a "faith healer" grows back the missing part of my left hand is the day that I will stop calling them all out as charlatans and frauds.
