This people no dey hear word! Respect other people's faith and decision. Pray for them first, and give them a Bible when they ask for it. You can't violate the rules and regulation of your job.

Dear Nurse, if you seek the face of God before any encounter and depend on the Holy Spirit to guide you, just know that every persecutions and trials is a test of your faith and (an) experience of triumph in the victory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well it didn’t happen in Nigeria, if someone doesn’t want to associate with your faith let them be!

What happened to a simple prayer, such encounters are meant to be short not long and winding. It is the Holy Spirit that saves and heals not bizarre human motions.

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.

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...

She was rightly sacked! if you were a cancer patient and your nurse is a buddhist, I am sure you would love to recite some buddhist mantra with the nurse on your sick bed tongue

yes! in Nigeria, Maybe they should concentrate more on their Jobs rather than Turning the Hospital into Church.

And people still die Everyday in Nigerian Hospitals due to lack of adeqaute treatments and Equipments, upon all the praying and singing.

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

The nurse is 101% wrong. Pray you don’t find yourself in a situation where you need the best of care to beat a deadly disease but instead your handlers are giving to you motivational speech.

The patients need rest after med not constant speeches to change their faith for it will only increase their placebo effect and not therapeutic effect.

That is the most dangerous thing about religion.

They feel they are obligated to pass their religion to everyone. They force their nonsense teachings on passerby, in buses, public places etc..... Christians use loudspeakers and disturb the neighbourhood. Muslims use loudspeakers to wake the neighbourhood by 4am abi 5am....

They're both nuisances.

Very good. A lot of people don't know the dangers of having overly religious medical professionals taking care 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.
