Nurse Suspended Due To Prayer

In slightly troubling news, a Christian nurse has been suspended for offering prayer.

Mrs Petrie, who carries out home visits in North Somerset, said she had asked the patient if she would like a prayer said for her after she had put dressings on the woman's legs.

The patient, believed to be in her 70s, refused and Mrs Petrie insists that she left the matter alone.

The sick woman contacted the trust about the incident and Mrs Petrie was challenged by her superiors.

Update: she has been re-instated into her post.
