I don't understand the question. Why would anyone choose to NOT go to a doctor if they could? God has provided doctors to us so that the physical body can be healed. Of course the spiritual needs to be healed as well.
About 1 1/2 years ago, I broke my wrist, really bad. If I had not gone to the doctor, it would have healed but my entire right hand would have been unusable. Now, it's completely healed and I can play the piano again (which I do every week in church). So God used the doctor so that I could be healed and continue to serve and glorify Him in the church.
If you can be healed with the help of a doctor, then do it so you can continue to serve God here on earth -- and ultimately bring glory to God because all healing comes from Him.

I absolutely believe in the power of prayer. You see, my wrist was broken so badly, the surgeon was not sure it would heal correctly. My church (and I, of course) were praying that God would give my surgeon skill and knowledge to do the right thing. And after the surgery, we all prayed it would be completely healed because we really did not know. Now, my surgeon was not a believer, but I'm quite certain he knew that divine intervention took place. God has given us many resources to improve our lives here on earth. That is not to discount the power of prayer, but when we have modern medicine at our disposal, I think it's a waste of the resources God gave us to not take advantage of them.
If you're already convinced you don't need a doctor, then don't go to a doctor.
Don't ask advice about something if you've already made up your mind.
If you don't think you need a doctor - don't go to one.
But...
if God has allowed you to live in a country with good doctors, and provided you with the finances to go to one...
you should be man enough to tell everyone what happened when you didn't go.

Everything that is good was invented by God including science. And its not working to disprove God, Satan came into the picture and used, twisted, distorted science to disprove God. The deeper you know science, the more you believe that God exists.

You are not understanding what is being said. God uses people and prayer for healing. He is not limited in how he helps us thru healing. God made science so why wouldn't He use it for His glory? To me it is the attitude people approach the healing process. As long as you are praying and giving God the praise and glory for it and believing that He will heal you through all possible means, then He doesn't care about if we see a doctor. After all God made doctors. Why wouldn't He use them? I have had many instances where God has healed me both ways. I always pray for the doctor and it has opened up some interesting conversations about his healing, love, faithfulness etc. Even the doctors can't always explain what happened and say it is a miracle...giving God the glory.
