Okay. I went to the ER with a burn on my hand recently. At reception, there was a kind of chubby blonde nurse sitting there. She was very pleasant and sympathetic to me while I explained my burn. I noticed she had all kinds of angel paraphenalia in the little office, a WWJD sign, an angel pin on her uniform, and a Jesus fish on the computer. She starts asking me the usual questions, name, address, insurance, etc, then comes to religion. I said, "None." I swear, she dropped the pen and looked at me. "What?" "I said none, I'm an atheist." She immediately dropped all pretense at friendliness, became very short with me, and left me to sit there in pain while people who came in after me with lesser problems were sent right in. I did complain to the administrator, but he basically said "Sorry, but you scared her, I expect." Like I'm a demon or something! Is this fair? And has anything like this happened to any of you?
