I wouldn't go so far as to say "never," but I do think that the
community is becoming more savvy and welcoming of medical attention.
These new trendy shamans can pretty much make up what ever they want

I agree, that regardless of faith, old or yexus, negligent spiritual
leaders should be held accountable.
