What is your point?

To anyone with much experience of hospitals and intensive care wards, this story rings false.

I have read reliable account from Italy of a priest who refused a respirator so another person could have it, and have immense respect for the man.

On a couple of occasions when a hospital chaplain has ventured near my bed, I have thanked his concern, and urged him to spend his time with people who desire the comfort he can offer them
