Hospitals for the Religious

Published Date: 
October 23, 2006

Several hospitals are becoming a religious smorgasbord. Ranging from Shabbat elevators for Jewish people to bloodless surgery for Jehovah's Witnesses, hospitals are attempting to cater to various religious groups.

For those who will not operate electrical switches on the Sabbath, hospitals are providing non-automatic doors, and elevators that stop on every floor. In addition to this, the hospital attendants are learning to ask patients if they would like their light switch on or off so that the patient does not have to touch the switch on the Sabbath. For those needing to pray towards Mecca, hospitals are turning the beds around to face that direction.

Daily Proverb

Proverbs 24:12

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
