relying on God

[Godless Ray]

Gosh I had a funny one today.

I was in a Dental Practice and was chatting with this young nurse who was telling me where she used to work. Previously, she worked at a reasonably largish group practice that I knew to have a Christian leaning I just didn;t know how much.

She was saying that every day started with a prayer meeting then got weirder.

Some examples:

Compresser breaks down, Dentist throws herself on top and prays for it's fixing. Someone later discreetly cleaned the filter and a miracle occurred.

Post breaks in root canal: falls to the floor in prayer.

Denture doesn't fit: pray for denture "healing"

etc etc

...Sounds like a nice place if you want to sue them.

How did they ever qualify for their job?

And how come their deity lets them down so often?

[Praxis]

Might sound a bit harsh but I don't think people in health positions such as doctors and dentists should be allowed to practice if they pull shit like this.

Quite frankly they're putting people's lives at risk when they are so seriously deluded that they put their idiotic beliefs above medical and scientific knowledge.

That dentist should be reported :mad:

Hopefully they don't look for a water into anesthetic miracle or ask the dead dick on a stick to miraculously cleanse all those nasty little microorganisms

Roger, there was a dentist suspended from Geelong (from memory) who was regularly getting "angry Xtian old testament flavour" at his patients he wasn't by chance from the same group of dentists?

I've seen it also, after my knee surgery my physiotherapist was a how you said "angry Xtian old testament flavour" I suspect some proselytising might happen at that practise. Me says hey I don't believe in that stuf'n'nonsense, he says I can't believe that anything good comes from fire., huh oh the big bang theory hey that's not fire, mmm had limited sessions. :facepalm:

I think this (http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/highton-god-botherer-dentist-will-do-it-again/story-e6frfku0-1226075415289) might be the case that you're referring to. No indication of practice grouping arrangements, unfortunately.

@RKD: Nice to see you, it's been a while. :)

Thanks LP and to edit my comment Roger should have said godless Ray.

My bad.

I don't blame her for leaving. Did she mention if it was well-known that they were like this or not?

My ex was a bouncer. Long story short? He got in a blue and ended up with septic arthritis in a knuckle on his right hand. Referred to a leading Melbourne hand surgeon.

Whilst cleaning the wound and inserting a draintube, ex muttered "jesus christ" under his breath.

The surgeon stopped what he was doing, pulled off his face mask and shouted "How DARE you take the lord's name in vain" and refused to continue the procedure until he'd prayed.

Given this batshit crazy nutter was wielding a scalpel, and Graeme was in pain, he muttered something like "amen" when Crazy Man had finished, and got the hell out of dodge.

we didn't report him. We were far too concerned about G losing the use of his hand, and the subsequent months of pain management (that involved him having local anaesthetic injected ito the base of skull every week), but I later heard that someone HAD reported him and that he'd recieved a sanction from th AMA

Sure, they probably have a prayer against that :)
