WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 5, 2007 12:01 AM (PT) You've heard how Great Britain's socialized medicine is failing. How thousands have died in hospitals due to unsanitary conditions and overworked staff. So what are they doing? Training nurses. Not to combat the problems, those are swept aside. They're trained, at taxpayer expense to become familiar with the Islamic faith, and are required to stop all medical work five times a day to turn the beds of Muslim patients towards Mecca. When political correctness kills, tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read about it here.

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.
Last night critics slammed the procedure and claimed the NHS would be better off investing its resources in tackling killer superbugs such as C.diff and MRSA.

One experienced nurse working at Dewsbury said:“It would be easier to create Muslim-only wards with every bed facing Mecca than have to deal with this.
