In my only post to this I mentioned that twice I've had priests come in to ask if I wanted them to pray for me (these were 5 yrs apart) & both times I said no, asked them to leave & thanked them for their concern. I should have mentioned that these were priests in the hospital as chaplins not employees of the hospital or care givers & they were not there at the request of relations either. Had they been health professionals I would've demanded that they no longer treat me, those questions are unethical & inapproprate & I would not have felt that they had my physical health their first priority over that of my so called soul. I am not in the least bit interested in having my soul saved but I was thinking that my body was far more in need of medical care. I stated, when fisrt asked what my religion was, when I replied none, that they allowed a priest beside my death bed, twice, was IMHO a violation in the fisrt place. They weren't allowing anyone but relations or those I requested & that they allowed in a priest, I felt bad for him, for denying him his prayer for me & I was the one dying. If I had been in better health I would have cursed him & who ever let him across the threshhold.
