Offering to pray is "attacking" a patient?   There's where we part company. And it appears the majority of the UK population, though overwhelmingly not strongly Christian, also agrees that "attacking" is too strong a word--by a lot. As is "violation".

Anybody who does not want the prayer can decline it. As the woman in this case did.   And that should have been the end of it.

Mudcat is probably one of the few places it's even being discussed any more.
