Romanian Neurosurgeon Declares: ‘God Is in My Operating Room’—Faith Meets Medicine in Miraculous Harmony
In a rare and moving testimony bridging science and faith, Romanian neurosurgeon Dr. Iustinian Simion has publicly declared that God’s presence is unmistakably felt within his operating room. Speaking with Q Magazine, the respected surgeon shared that his years in medicine have revealed both the limits of human ability and the unmistakable imprint of divine intervention. “I couldn’t quantify how much is human and how much is divine power in a neurosurgical operation,” he explained. “But I know for sure that without God, man can achieve nothing. It’s an illusion to think otherwise.” Dr. Simion’s words challenge the conventional divide between faith and science, offering a profound reflection on humility in medicine and the mystery that surrounds human healing.
He further emphasized that doctors should never take full credit for successful surgeries, describing physicians as “tools in a greater work of healing.” Warning against pride and self-deification, he urged his colleagues to recognize the sacred partnership between skill and spirituality. Beyond the hospital walls, Dr. Simion channels his devotion through music—founding the Anastasios Byzantine Choir in Târgu Mureș in 2011. For him, the choir serves as “a breath of air” that restores his soul after the long, intense hours in surgery. In both scalpel and song, Dr. Simion embodies the harmony of faith and profession—a living reminder that even in the most sterile of operating rooms, miracles still breathe.
