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.'
No patient complained kate, it was other puratanical nosy dogooders that did that, I would agree if a patient had objected but seeing they didn't what case had she to answer in the first place, there are far more important things need sorting out in the NHS never mind going on unnecessary witch hunts
