Can't agree with you there Jaysay, pleased she has been re-instated, but think it was well worth the investigation. They have called it off only due to pressure from the public.

The patient, although she did not report it officially, did feel the need to mention to another nurse, so must have been a little more than just offering a prayer, as she was concerned would upset other patients.

This quote from the nurse says it all to me ...

'Mrs Petrie has always insisted that she has never forced her beliefs on anyone.
The Baptist, who became a Christian ten years ago after her mother died, said her supplications had real effects on patients, including a Catholic woman whose urine infection cleared up days after she said a prayer.'
