Ask them if they believe that God "uses" anything and anyone he wants
to answer their prayers.  If yes, you're all set.  If no, ask if God
is limited.  Once they buy the doctrine of "available means" they are
likely to let a "believing" doctor treat them.  I have been able to
talk a Seventh Day Adventist to this point of view.  Don't know about
others.
