What is worst than an over-religious person?? Answer: An over-religious person who works in the medical field.
It can be dangerous and even fatal to allow an over-religious person to be in a professional service like healthcare because lives are at stake. There’s no way someone’s religious or cultural views should supersede well-laid-down rules in health and wellness.

From unsolicited advice to sharing pamphlets and wrongful accusations, these victims literally escaped worse things or death by the skin of their teeth.

HMMMMMMM
