    Just do your job...

    Outrageous!! I don't understand when it became acceptable in this country to shirk your duties because of your "personal beliefs". There must be certain protocols and procedures for handling a rape victim, regardless of what other circumstances there are. To not follow these procedures because what *you* believe is not only reprehensible, but should be met with nothing less than dismissal.

    Obviously this medical supervisor is more concerned with forcing his/her religious beliefs on others rather than being compassionate toward another human being... the latter, of course, being a true Christian value. What a hypocrite!
