You're right. I was thinking of the Mormons & had forgotten about the mad evangelical member of the hospital staff, who brought her equally mad evangelical husband to our home to save my dying husband's soul. I threw them out. I told the kids I had saved their father's soul from exploitation by a predatory charlatan. And, yes, I did lay a complaint with the DHB.

It's just that with the onset of my vision impairment, I've found that once mad evangelical alt. med. charlatans get the smell of human vulnerability in their nostrils they start circling like vultures.
