Priest at the hospital

[Athene]

Exactly. I think there's nothing wrong with the first situation in my opinion, in fact we had one in when my Dad was dying. The latter is wrong though and you'd think the nurses would step in remove them.

Not if it's a religious hospital. They follow their own protocol. Good thing this was a priest and not one of those Word of Faith idiots who want to lay hands on the sick. I used to live near a Church like that. Those people will actually grab you even after you tell them no.

That seems like a great way to get your ass kicked.
