    I fail to understand why there is such a question at all ? Does it make any difference whether the patient practices any religion?
    if you put down 'dirty prod', they immediately put DNR on your paperwork.

    Hospitals are like schools, they can be owned by a religious order, but at the same time have their running costs paid by the state. Then they can expose patients to their own religious "ethos".
    Enjoy your stay!

    I wonder if politicians could do the same. You could get a plot of land and set up the Workers Revolutionary Hospital. And even after taxpayers plough €100 billion into the place over the years, it still has a Communist 'ethos' and portraits of Marx everywhere and a statue of Lenin in the foyer and cadres going around recruiting people to the movement. Sure didn't the Communists build us a hospital when we had no money to do it ourselves!

    Sure down the country you'll find them in garda stations.
