Woman dies in nursing home because Muslim nurse was busy praying instead of tending to the patient - Polidicks

[quote]Alzheimer's sufferer Dorothy Griffiths, 87, was found sitting down after staff heard a bang and a carer went to the office for help to lift her. But agency nurse Abdul Bhutto, who was in charge, said they would have to wait. Carer Zoe Shaw told the Sheffield hearing: "It took between five and ten minutes because he was praying upstairs in the office on his prayer mat. A staff member told me we had to wait for him to finish." An ambulance was not called for nearly four hours after Mrs Griffiths fell from bed and cut her head and suffered a gash to her hip at the privately-run Valley Park Nursing Home in Wombwell, near Barnsley. She died later in hospital. Mr Bhutto failed to appear at the inquest and a summons had to be issued for him to attend the resumed hearing later in the year.

Misuse of religion.

I think not calling an ambulance for 4 hours had more to do with it than everybody waiting for someone to finish praying

I'm pretty sure Muslims are allowed to put off praying if it's important. Also, I really doubt that 10 minute wait was the sole reason that she died. This article's writer and the OP should both be ashamed for this anti-Islam garbage. I know the forum's named sensationalist headlines, but that doesn't mean 'be a jackass'.

It's less the prayer that sealed her fate but rather that she's already old and it took them four hours to actually call an ambulance.

Ban muslims!

I thought there were exceptions in the Quran that said if you couldn't do something, like praying, at a certain time for a certain reason, like needing to care for someone, then you could just do it later. Huh.

I don't care about your religion and prayer time. That is fine, do that on your own time. Not on the clock when you should be taking care of people. That goes for any religion, your first priority is your job and providing the much needed medical care. As much as these homes charge for there services the should be ashamed. Most homes I've heard about charge a lot of money and don't do much, they're literally milking people of their money till they die. The nursing home is fucking stupid for not calling an ambulance and not handling the situation properly.

The title might have been a bit too sensationalist, but the article (at least the bit that we see here) is hardly anti-Islam. It states that the boss refused to help someone for ten minutes due to his praying; that's not anti-Islam, that's stating fact.

think it's got less to do with the 10 minutes than the [B]four hours[/B]

hey op perhaps you should keep your anti-islamic slant on the issue to yourself this woman probably would have died even if the nurse wasn't busy praying

[QUOTE=Sanius;35269380]hey op perhaps you should keep your anti-islamic slant on the issue to yourself this woman probably would have died even if the nurse wasn't busy praying[/QUOTE] There is no anti-Islam slant there, only an anti-religion one

[quote]Woman dies in nursing home because nobody called an ambulance for four hours apparently. News organizations blame Islamic, praying nurse.[/quote] Fixed the title.

[QUOTE=A big fat ass;35269291]Ban muslims![/QUOTE] stop

[quote]A staff member told me we had to wait for him to finish[/quote] He probably had no idea that anything was going on. Sounds like nobody told him and gave him a chance.

I was arguing with someone eariler about this muslims are allowed to be interrupted in prayer both in qu'ran and british law if it is a emergency. the person did not actually go and tell the muslim carer but got second hand knowledge from co-workers stating that you cannot interrupt a muslim while they are praying thus he was not confronted. an ambulance was not called until 4 hours later.

OP is insensitive, he had the right to keep praying even though someone need serious help. There is no law saying you have to help someone whose dying.

I don't understand. Was there some Godly power preventing the others from doing anything? Like was the nurse who was praying asked his God to make them wait or do they just lack common sense? I know he was in charge but come on, this isn't an excuse not to do anything.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35270022]OP is insensitive, he had the right to keep praying even though someone need serious help. There is no law saying you have to help someone whose dying.[/QUOTE] It is the law if your job requires you to help people who are dying.

Telegraph is right wing garbage so no surprise here.

There weren't obviously enough nurses. [QUOTE=download;35270806]Totally, I'm anti-religion because I'm a hipster[/QUOTE] By being anti religion you are being a dumbass to alot of innocent people too.

[QUOTE=Falchion;35270826]There weren't obviously enough nurses. By being anti religion you are being a dumbass to alot of innocent people too.[/QUOTE] Being anti-religion is not the same as being anti-religious people. You can hate religion without hating the people who are religious.

[QUOTE=Falchion;35270826]There weren't obviously enough nurses. By being anti religion you are being a dumbass to alot of innocent people too.[/QUOTE] Your making a heap of sense there

This is retarded. The woman should've called the ambulance earlier, and the nurse shouldn't have been an idiot and saved her first, then prayed later. Both weren't very smart here.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35270022]OP is insensitive, he had the right to keep praying even though someone need serious help.

If somebody is dying on the street and you walk by and don't help them then you can go to jail for a felony.

EXCEPT when you're a nurse, doctor or a paramedic, something this asshole was

Uh, US you have to. It's a 1950s or 1920s case. Either way it has to do with a Mafia hit. I studied it in my law class last spring and it had to relate with the bystander effect. How does it make sense that somebody looks out their front window and sees a man bleeding in the street. You are the only one home on the street but you refuse to even call an ambulance. "Its okay, you don't experience any repercussions. You could have dropped your morning coffee to save a person's life but we don't want to inconvenience you. After all, life is meaningless!" The courts would never let something like that slide.
