What are the duties of an emergency hospital chaplin?

Good spelling for one thing. Sorry to be blunt but do check your spelling.

@janbb Which words were spelt wrong? Edit oh chaplain? Thanks I will flag.

Mostly (in my experience) the spiritual counselors in a hospital are more about comfort. They tend to frightened and/or confused patients and loved ones, being a soothing presence.

For example, when I had cancer, there was often some sort of religious person (nun, pastor, priest) who would sit with me before this or that unpleasant procedure. I never requested anybody, but I was grateful for the gentle presence.

When my child got run over, in the emergency department, a nun assigned herself to me, helped with paperwork, led me to the bathroom, waited with me during surgery.

Anything of a more religious nature is probably available, I don’t know.

@RedDeerGuy1 Yes, that was it.

At the hospital I worked at, the religious person gave a morning prayer at 8:00 a.m. every morning. On a side note, one of the pastors was a woman and had a very breathy, sexy voice. One of the doctors in my office always made a comment as to he would need a shower or a cigarette after her morning prayer. They were there for patients that requested them or if a patient was going through a tough diagnosis or treatment. When I was in the hospital and they thought I wouldn’t make it, one of the pastors came in and sat with me. It really was comforting.
