It's fear, and displacement of responsibility. If you're in a hospital, doctors are effectively gods; remote and impossible to understand. Theres's a point where it actually seems more effective to ask a faceless sky god for help. Not that it IS more effective, of course, but it's pretty rational when you look at how humans react to death.
