relying on God
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 Godless Ray

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

Re: relying on God
How did they ever qualify for their job?
And how come their deity lets them down so often?

Re: relying on God
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

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?

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.
