Showing Original Post only (View all)Need ideas on getting a hospital chaplain to stop trying to talk to atheist inpatient. [View all]
as if being sick in the hospital isn't bad enough, creepy freak goes to talk to him after first being asked by me nicely, then firmly, then emphatically that he doesn't want any contact with chaplains at the hospital. poor guy is sick as a dog and she goes in anyway when I'm gone, after being told it will upset him and he doesn't need it
so pissed right now
edit to add: also exhausted, so I'll check this thread in the morning after I get some sleep.
thanks for reading my vet/rant/question/thing
