GP Reprimanded for Talking about God to Patient; Patient's Mother Said GP "Pushed Religion" on Son

The Telegraph (British) website reports today (May 21, 2011) that Dr. Richard Scott -- a family doctor in England -- fears losing his job, after he was reprimanded by the General Medical Council for talking to a patient about God.

The Christian general practitioner (GP) was accused of "harassment" and told by the medical regulator that he risked bringing the profession into disrepute by discussing his religious beliefs.

Dr. Scott, 50 -- a married father of three children -- has decided to take legal action to fight the censure.

The complaint was filed by the patient's mother, who said the doctor had abused his position by "pushing religion" on her son.
