Muslim Paramedic Has To Finish Praying Before Attending To Dying Patient According to recent reports, 87-year-old Dorothy Griffiths was founding sitting down after staff at her retirement home heard a bang coming from her room. Griffiths was suffering from Alzheimers and was staying at the Valley Park Nursing Home. Unfortunately, agency nurse Abdul Bhutto insisted that staff wait to assist the woman. It took between five and ten minutes because he was praying upstairs in the office on his prayer mat, Zoe Shaw, a care nurse on the scene told reporters. A staff member told me we had to wait for him to finish. As it turns out, Mrs. Griffiths had fallen from her bed and cut her head. She also suffered a gash to her hip. An ambulance was not called until nearly four hours after the initial injury, and Griffiths died later that day in the hospital. Bhutto showed little remorse for his actions. In fact, he failed to appear at the inquest and a summons had to be issued for him to attend a hearing on the matter later this year. According to Shaw, Griffiths was put to bed at 9:45 PM and was checked every two hours. She was reportedly using the toilet at 4 AM when Shaw went to an office to fill in regular paperwork. After finding her patient on the floor, Shaw went to find Bhutto, who was the most senior nurse on night duty. Now, looking back, Shaw said she would have called an ambulance immediately after the fall if she had been aware that she could override a nurses decision. What do you think? Is this behavior completely unacceptable?
