Abstract
Prayer houses that profess miracles and healing through prayers and vigils abound in our clime, but this case report of irreparable limb damage due to an unprofessional medical intervention by a prayer warrior is new and worrisome. This case is an advanced acute compartment syndrome of both legs which was caused by a prayer warrior who, supposedly, had the inspiration to apply tight splints on the legs of a girl with cerebral palsy so that she could walk.
