UK: Nurses Told to Move Patients Beds To Face Mecca 5 Times Per DaySubmitted by Sandi on Wed, 2007-12-05 02:25.
OVERWORKED nurses have been ordered to stop
The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.
And a taxpayer-funded training programme for several hundred hospital staff has begun to ensure that all are familiar with the workings of the Muslim faith. It comes on the back of the introduction in some NHS hospitals last year of Burka-style gowns for Muslim patients who did not wish medical staff to see their face while operating or caring for them.
One experienced nurse working at Dewsbury said: “It would be easier to create Muslim-only wards with every bed facing Mecca than have to deal with this. “Although the beds are designed to be moved, the bays are not really suitable for having loads of beds moved around to face a different direction, and despite our best efforts it does cause disruption for non-Muslim patients.”

I'd put money down now that
I'd put money down now that this was dreamed up by some psychopathic little shitstain on the underwear of the world who doesn't really know what his job is, but that he had to come up with something, anything. Then late one night, trying to justify his existence, he leaped from his bed and cried "Aha!" After hugging himself back to sleep, filled with the warmth of spirit that comes from such epiphanies, he dreamed of a world where he wasn't a soulless little cunt with no friends.
The next day, when the idea was presented, no one in the office dared to suggest it was a bad idea, or even questioned its necessity. They know full well that Islamophobia is a hanging offense in the public sector.
Muslims asked for this? I doubt it. But I also doubt they'd say no to the offer.
Since Mecca would be below the horizon
It would be best to tip the beds down first.
And in intensive care, to use a GPS to get the right direction might possibly upset the heart monitors?
The end is nigh
"Last night critics slammed the procedure and claimed the NHS would be better off investing its resources in tackling killer superbugs such as C.diff and MRSA."
Un-fucking-believable!!!!
Oh Dear!
What next? Those poor nurses... as if the job isn't taxing enough already! Muslims should set up their own private hospital where they can lie prostrate before bloody Mecca all day and night.
