If you're a doctor and fail to save a patient, is that a sin?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Doctors are not gods, even though they may think they are. It is up to God to judge us as individuals. Of course, if the doctor is able to save someone, yet chooses not to, that is a different matter.

Luke, called “the beloved physician,” was the writer of two Bible books, and he gave detailed descriptions of some of the sick people whom Jesus and also the apostles cured. (Colossians 4:14)

Luke wrote those accounts in the book of Acts while his readers could still verify the facts by talking to the people involved. Concerning what he recorded in the Bible book that bears his name, Luke wrote: “I have traced all things from the start with accuracy . . . that you may know fully the certainty of the things.” (Luke 1:3, 4) What this physician saw and researched convinced him that Jesus’ teachings were true. The miraculous cures were part of those teachings, giving a basis for belief in the Bible prophecy that disease will eventually be conquered by God. (Isaiah 35:5, 6.) As a medical practitioner accustomed to dealing with suffering, Luke must have found it especially heartwarming to contemplate a time when his profession would no longer be needed. Do you find such a prospect appealing?

Interestingly, this is what the future holds for those who love God, no matter where they live on earth. The Bible promises that under God’s Kingdom, “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’” (Isaiah 33:24) Many modern-day physicians have concluded that there is a logical basis for believing the Bible’s promises.

"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:3, 4)

Answer 2

It depends on the circumstances.

If the patient died because of the doctor's deliberate act or omission then it would be a sin.

Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

No. Sin lies in the will. If the doctor intended to save the patient, then there is no sin.

Answer 4

Of course not! (unless you have some sort of sick-minded ulterior motive) The Book of Luke says, "Physician, heal thyself" which means that God gives us the knowledge to have healing in our bodies, but if it's not in the scope of God's will, then there won't be anything even a doctor can do about the problem.
