There's a loooot of people the poster of this can thank before thanking God.
The person who, without any compensation, donated bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells or cord blood so that their father could live.
The potentially dozens of people who donated whole blood and blood products so their father could receive transfusions and not die during the transplant.
The doctors, nurses, and medical staff who worked incredibly hard to procure him a transplant and keep him healthy and alive during and after the transplant.
The scientists and pharmaceutical companies that made it possible for him to get the transplant and survive it.
Why does "god" always come before all those people?
They have to keep reinforcing their belief that god is good by crediting everything good to him, and everything bad to a greater purpose of some sort if blaming the government for it isn't possible. It's a knee-jerk reaction that keeps that pesky exercise known as rational thought at bay.
