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.

Me too. Don't these self-appointed duplicate post hall monitors have something better to do?
I wonder what’s next, demanding special wards for muslims where all beds always face Mecca, and then special govt-funded muslim-only hospitals, etc, etc?
You have GOT to be kidding. Hand them a steel bedpan and say there you go, here’s your kaaba simulator. Pray to that. PC has gone over the edge.
Patients go to hospital for comfort??? I thought they went for treatment and recovery. Oh well, what do I know.
I agree, but if the United Socialist Kingdom of Britainistan is going to provide “comfort” to one group, then it would have to be provided to all, n’est pas? I’m so sick of this crap I just want to vomit bacon in the general direction of Mecca...
Aw jeez, not this Shi’ite again!
No prob! :-) This kind of crap sometimes needs to be posted twice so people can see what’s really going on. I used to be such an Anglophile, but in the last 5 years I’ve been here this once-great Empire has crumbled and disintegrated into a 3rd World Socialist Nation who needs to thank it’s lucky stars that they (well, still at the moment) have us as an ally. Grody Gordon Brown is doing nothing to preserve that alliance, at least not with his anti-American pro-EU Socialist Foreign Secretary. I want to come home to the US now and work on defeating the HildeBeast.
I wish I could say I’m joking as I say this, but I see more taxpayer money going toward putting foot-baths in every public (and soon private) building in Britain. I know it’s been happening in US airports, so its sure to happen in UK Libraries, schools, hospitals, churches, etc. very soon...
The sun has set on the British Empire.
Then raise the bed so they slide out the window.
Throw them out with the bathwater.
When it comes to appeasing Muslims in the UK, there is no requesting or asking, it is just implemented into law and if you publically disagree you can be thrown into jail for “inciting racism”
My faith demands a Porterhouse Steak and a Baked Potato smothered in butter and sour cream when I pray. You think I can have that accomodation?
How about a pint of Guiness and an NFL game?! :-) That would cure me real fast so I wouldn’t have to be in an NHS deathtrap!
IMHO...same thing. :)
WAIT A SECOND...of course, that could NEVER happen here...right? BTW, where are you located in AZ?
Turn their beds upside down and set them on fire! Guaranteed they’ll be ending their special demands real soon!
What will they think of next???
What does your comment have to do with mine?
