Re: Nurse suspended for offering to pray for patient's recovery
You'd think that after a few minutes conversation with a patient, you'd be able to gauge if such a comment would be appropriate... and then err on the side of caution. Regardless of your religios views, placebos have been shown to have powerful effects, so if a patient thinks it will help then why not? So long as they don't think it'll perform miracles...
