Have the world evolved to this extent? That discussing one's faith in a work place is now ground for terminating his/her job? Such is the story of Sister Sarah Kuteh. A nurse with over 15 years’ experience and yet she was sacked for discussing Christianity and offering to pray with patients before their operations. Kuteh, who's a mother-of-three, was dismissed for breaching guidelines, even though her job involved asking people preparing for surgery about their religion.

Recalling how she was suspended and escorted from Darent Valley hospital in Dartford, Kent, Kuteh said:

‘It was embarrassing for me – and painful after all I had done in my years as a nurse. I was told I couldn’t even speak to my colleagues. All I had done was to nurse from my heart. How could it be harmful to tell someone about Jesus?’

She admitted she may have spoken to a few patients without their express permission when she first began the job, but was more careful after a warning in April 2016 that there had been complaints. In June, She was ‘shocked’ when they told her that three further complaints had been made, after which she was told to stop assessing patients and was suspended a few days later. She was sacked in August after an investigation, and her appeal rejected.

The bosses at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust however insist that her discussions were unwanted and this had upset patients. They also claim that Kuteh failed to heed warnings that she was being unprofessional.

She is now suing the hospital for unfair dismissal, describing her sacking as ‘disproportionate and punitive’.

whats you opinion on this?

she acted unethically.

She should have restricted herself to church, or sought permission before preaching. The world has had enough of unwanted proselytising. Everyone has finally settled in their beliefs. She think say na Africa, where they go dey disturb up and down.

Complaints... So she's at fault!

She was warned

Christopher Hitchens once asked if Christians would be ok with atheists telling people in hospital that their religious beliefs were all nonsense and that the priests have been cheating them the whole time.

Research has shown that prayer has ADVERSE effects in a patient's ability to recover well from surgery

The study also found that more patients that are aware of being prayed for suffered 28% more from major surgery complications, like heart attack or stroke, compared with those that aren't aware of being prayed for

studies and researches like these is probably the reason for banning useless praying and preaching since it leads to more unnecessary complications and deaths of patients

this nurse was fully aware of the rule but flouted it anyhow
