The medical practitioners do say 'we treat but God cures'. I think the nurse is right to some extent

That's in Nigeria. Most caucasian medical doctors in the UK are atheists or at best agnostics

and according to the Ethics what she did is right but the problem might be coming from relatives or the patient. Either of them must have filed a report against her act and when that is done, no moral justification counts again.. She was so unfortunate...

Bulls...

You ain’t no nurse and if you are then I highly suggest that you download the latest version of ethics code.
You work in a hospital and not a religious center.
While I won’t condemn her total she should understand that placebo taken too far is deadly (literally).

The Bible says that Christians will always suffer persecution.
The Bible also said God who created the world and everything in it by the word of mouth, was tired and rested!


The Bible also said God removed Saul as king of Israel because he refused to slaughter women and children....

Does that make sense to you?

Very good. A lot of people don't know the dangers of having overly religious medical professionals taking of patients. I remember a Sunday school teacher who happened to be a doctor he said the following during a Sunday school gathering: "how can people be so relaxed and lackadaisical about demon possession? How can they cover it and reduce it to mere physical condition, give it a name and call it mental illness. How can they call demon possession and oppression 'bipolar disorder' and 'sleep paralysis'?"

I kid you not. This was a Sunday school teacher in RCCG. Sacking that nurse is a good thing. How ironic can things get? The very same nation that brought christianity to us sacked this woman.

Religion is a tool of control. They used their zealots and socially downtrodden to spread their message of evil to soften the heads of Africans and make it easier to pilfer.

Didn't she know the code before accepting the job?

It's only in Nigeria, Kenya and some other barbaric African countries that people will be constituting public nuisance in the name of religion.

For example, they get to government office in the morning and start chanting religious songs in congregation. In fact thry turn the office to a mini-worship place for the next 15-30mins. Time that the government pays them for because it believes that they are already working.

it's normal, as a religious person, for you to pray before leaving your home or on getting to work. But you can simply do that silently and personally. Did God tell you that he won't accept your prayers until you shout, constitute nuisance and violate people's privacy?

And come to think of it, missionary hospitals outnumber government hospitals in many parts of the country. If these claims of miracle were true they shouldn't have had any need to build those hospitals.

I think she deserves it. Yes she does. Good for her, and a lesson to others.

It doesn't have to make sense to me as Christ made it abundantly clear that anyone who is ready to follow Him will be persecuted.

Anyone who tells you that being a true Christian is easy, tell him he's a joker.

More importantly, the greatest thing we must look forward to is making heaven...not how people maltreated us because we are Christians

This just has to be a declaration of war on Christianity in UK. If it were to be Nigeria the press would have a field day shouting to rooftops how Christians are facing war and Islamization agenda. Someday, Africa will be liberated. There are places for religion and for professionalism and work ethics. None should compromise the other.

SIRTee15:
A nurse who offered a bible to a cancer patient and encouraged him to sing The Lord is My Shepherd was fairly dismissed, a court has ruled.

Sarah Kuteh was given the sack from her job at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, in 2016 for repeatedly talking to patients about her faith and handing out a bible, in breach of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) rules.


A ruling, published last week by the Court of Appeal, stated that on June 3 2016 a patient at the hospital had complained about Ms Kuteh's conduct.

The court heard how the patient likened the incident to a 'Monty Python skit', which he said was 'very bizarre' - in which she encouraged him to sing along with Psalm 23 with her.

The ruling, which upheld a decision that she was fairly dismissed by the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, stated: "On 20 June 2016, the Complaints Department noted a call from a patient being treated for cancer concerning his assessment by the Claimant on 3 June 2016.

"He had replied "open minded" to the question on the form concerning religion and alleged the Claimant had told him that the only way he could get to the Lord was through Jesus.

"(She) told him she would give him her bible if he did not have one; gripped his hand tightly and said a prayer that was very intense and went "on and on"; and asked him to sing Psalm 23 [The Lord is My Shepherd] after which he was so astounded that he had sung the first verse with her.

"He described the encounter as 'very bizarre' and 'like a Monty Python skit'.

The court documents also point to a number of other incidents, in which Ms Kuteh told a bowel cancer patient in April 2016 'that if he prayed to God he would have a better chance of survival'

Another complaint, again in April 2016, came from a patient who said Ms Kuteh 'spent more time talking about religion than doing the assessment', and another, the same month, came from a patient who said they didn't want to see Ms Koteh as they 'didn't like preaching'.

Miss Kuteh, a 50-year-old mum of three, was suspended from her job in June 2016 and sacked for gross misconduct in August the same year, with her dismissal upheld by an employment tribunal later the same year.

She appealed the ruling of the tribunal in 2017, but failed in her bid to have her sacking overturned, but was allowed to work as a nurse again in July last year after her working restrictions were lifted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.


Ms Kuteh, however, appealed for a second time against her sacking to the Court of Appeal - saying the employment tribunal had 'failed to consider the correct interpretation of the NMC Code and the distinction between appropriate and inappropriate expressions of religious beliefs'.

She also said the tribunal had failed to acknowledge that Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights - Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs - was 'applicable' and to 'consider the fact-sensitive distinction between true evangelism and improper proselytism'.

Judges at the Court of Appeal, however, rejected the nurse's most recent appeal, saying she was not unfairly dismissed in a ruling published last week.

The Christian Legal Centre - which represents Ms Kuteh - said she is currently in discussion with her legal team to consider her next step.

They aren't against her worship, they are against the way she conducted herself. What if a patient got angry and the whole thing results in a fracas.
