Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
I am not a religious person. However, in the course of emergency response I did once 'pray' with a person who was dying. It comforted that person. The person wanted to pray so we chose the "Lord's Prayer" and went for it. I see little difference between that and applying dressings to stem blood loss or plastic taped on thee sides of a square for sucking chest wounds to ensure one-way passage of air. Two-faced on my or not, I will apologize to NO one for that. Not then, not now, not ever. The prayer ranked up there with holding the hand of someone as they die. Means of giving comfort that I would do again given similar circumstances.
