OVERWORKED nurses have been ordered to stop all medical work five times every day to move Muslim patients’ beds so they face towards Mecca.
The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.
But despite the havoc, Mid- Yorkshire NHS Trust says the rule must be instigated whenever possible to ensure Muslim patients have “a more comfortable stay in hospital”.
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.
The scheme is initially being run at Dewsbury and District Hospital, West Yorkshire, but is set to be introduced at other hospitals in the new year.
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.

The whole point is for the Muzzies to see just how far they can push the infidel to accomodate their commands.
Why fight your enemy until he refuses to cooperate?
Really? Hospital staff offer communion to Christians in Brit hospitals? I didn't know that... probably because they don't.
Or to save money, just hold MRSA-ridden pillows over their faces...
Call in the red cresent.
Bending over backwards to appease the unappeasable.
It'll be Western Civ's headstone.
I for one am glad you posted this because I missed the original post.
The principle should be “reasonable accommodation” of religious practice. This sounds unreasonable.
Madness. But that’s a good definition of PC.
And when the nurses bathe the patients, are they to turn their erections towards Mecca also?
And I turn towards Mecca and consciously pass gas.
I would take care of their medical needs but turn their beds? No way.
How are you supposed to assess patients in burkhas?
“Please let me know if you are turning pale, your eyes are rolling up in your head, you are drooling or have slow capillary refill, and please stage your pressure ulcers according to this guide. Here is a flashlight.”
Because the UK has abandoned it's Christian roots and has become a rudderless ship full of the me, me, me generation of lazy socialists who care about nothing but themselves. The UK is but a shell of it's former self, most of the Brits who gave a damn all live in Canada, the USA, or Australia, and are the only ones that are appalled by whats happening to their former country.
Thanks :-)
ROFL! Health care could get very tense.
The Taliban wouldn't let women see a male doctor; they wouldn't let women be doctors; so, women had no health care at all. Coming soon to Western Civilization!
Save time in the future. Simply roll their beds out of upper story windows.
Goodbye UK.
You're next USA!
