This article was written after the experience of a clinical psychology apprenticeship sustained at a surgical unit of a general hospital from Erechim- RS. It points out experiences and feelings of hospitalized patients towards their illnesses and surgical interventions. Detaches the evidence on patients speeches of religious believes and reflects about the function of this kind of answer to the helplessness situation that they are living. Stands out the hospital psychologist work as a catalyser of the agonies sustained by the patients allowing them a place where the subject may be valued beyond his pathology, beyond a concrete body upon which a surgical intervention will happen, ransoming the desiring subject.

Keywords : Hospital Psychology; Surgical Patients; Religiosity; Psychoanalysis.
