hahhah I must be easily amused this afternoon (I did just get over a bad cold that laid me low for a week.) but this is a funny line: "...hollering "heal" as if assuming God was deaf".

Reminds me of reading, some years back, an account of the 'great earthquake' in Alaska. This couple was thrown to the ground and as the earth heaved up and down under them sometimes they looked down on the cabin and sometimes they looked up, the woman started to pray aloud. Her husband shouter into her ear: Louder! Louder!
