I'm not laughing, SP is absolutely right. Just one thing: how to ensure those nuns don't get in my room if I'm unfortunate enough to end up in hospital again.

Actually, I think it's considerably worse that this nurse was peddling her prayers in the woman's home into which she was admitted for some legitimate medical purpose, but which she subsequently abused. It's bad enough when these cranks come ringing the doorbell on a Sunday morning but as long as you are not in this woman's presumably vulnerable state, you can tell them to . . . close the gate after themselves. And in a hospital ward you can at least yell for security (just like on Holby City).

If anyone actuallywants this sort of intervention, it can be arranged - as previously mentioned - through the chaplain, just as the local SWP branch can also be summoned quite easily on request.
