Religious rituals in healthcare

[robvalue]

I'd say that healthcare as a whole should be purely secular. If the staff want to go pray for people in private during their breaks, then they can fill their boots.

I don't think I'd have a problem with a religious figure coming to visit a patient on their request in the hospital, as long as it didn't inconvenience anyone else or compromise the care in any way. Of course, this should mean that any religion would be permissible, or none at all.

I think the biggest problem is staff assuming a patient wants religious interference without request. That's just preaching and is unprofessional.
