5. In my profession

I encounter "Xtians" who don't want to part with their CROSS necklace, get flustered and preachy at us when we ask them to remove their jewelry.
To begin with, hospitals everywhere are getting really tired of the "you lost my diamond brooch" scam and requiring patients sign "not responsible for your shit" clauses now.
Secondarily, it was a hidden "cross" necklace someone "religiously" wore into an MR scanner that nearly choked the patient to death upon entering the machine.
Recently (no mention who, where, etc... hippa) a patient who became indignant about the CROSS this Pt insisted not to be removed insisted it has NEVER been removed in XX number of years, made the neccessary notations about this, then had to laugh when obviously this person was hospitalized extensively without a trace of said necklace per images.
And these are the least annoying aspects I know of the churchy sort.
