Lead story

Hurricane Isabel roared through Virginia Beach, Va., in September, inflicting serious property damage, despite public calls for prayer to keep it away by the Rev. Pat Robertson, a prominent resident whose Christian Broadcasting Network is headquartered there. (In 1998, Robertson condemned the city of Orlando, Fla., for sponsoring a Gay Days festival and warned that the city could be torn up during the subsequent hurricane season, as God punishes those who promote homosexuality. Instead, the first hurricane of that season, Bonnie, made a direct hit on Virginia Beach.)

So are you suggesting that the kind of discrimination the patient's husband was requesting might be okay under some circumstances? It would still violate the hospital's written policy, though. As quoted, there weren't any exceptions in the policy.
