Are there any:

a) health-care professionals, or
b) clergy

onlist here who believe that what this woman did was a good idea?

Because, those postings proffered from trained and experienced members of both *secular health-care* and *spiritual ministering* professions thus far, have agreed that what this nurse did was deeply unprofessional and incorrect for numerous reasons.

As a lay person, with no training or experience in either ministering to the body or to the soul, I'm inclined to defer authority to those who *do*.
Which is possibly one of the reasons I'd be more inclined to go to a Priest than to my local butcher, if I wanted spiritual aid. And to a Nurse rather than a car mechanic, if I wanted a smear test...
