It actually seems to show who's a prisoner of a narrow legalistic outlook, and who recognizes that the health care system, government-run or not--(looking at it as an outsider-- this, I gather, was not an NHS situation)--needs as many kind, caring people as possible.

So far, it appears, there is no criticism of the actual quality of her medical attentions.

Just some people who somehow read a threat into her offer to pray.   An offer which, as has been pointed out more than once, was declined--and she then let it rest.

So it is hard to see any harm was done.

And now there are people advocating that this kind, caring individual be prevented from offering any more care.

Evidently since there is such an incredible oversupply of kind, caring people already offering their assistance that this nurse is not needed. It must be nice.




I am certainly glad this did not happen in the US.   If it had, it would have strengthened the "Religious Right" hugely--as did the similarly senseless push to remove 10 Commandments plaques from courthouses. Another situation in which no harm was being done---except to the country when GWB, in great part because of support from the "Religious Right", got in again in 2004.

So then everybody had the joy of GWB for another 4 years. And the whole world suffered.

At least there's no risk of anything like that in the UK.
