As a medical student, I had a clinical attachment to a busy neonatal ward in a large teaching hospital.

I saw a catholic priest, in front of parents who had lost their two day old baby only minutes earlier, shouting at a nurse for not calling him ealrier as their baby won't be allowed into heaven on account of him not baptising the baby before he or she died.

At this point, the parents, who had been quiet, both cried uncontrollably and I helped eject the priest whilst they were being comforted.

Humouring or accomodating religion can be fraught with difficulties. I have great respect for the chaplains I see around hospitals, same as my many religious colleagues who leave their faith at the door when being doctors. (Muslim women treating male patients being a good example.)

But as with any walk of life, you have to be careful of those who take their interests too literally. Arguing reality doesnt always work, as we see in this thread.
