In for contraceptive advice, out with a prescription to ward off demons:
A doctor told a patient seeking contraception advice to go and see an exorcist, it was claimed today.Dr Joyce Pratt, who works at several London family planning clinics, allegedly told the woman she “had something awful inside her” and was under a black magic spell.
The GP, from Birmingham, is said to have ordered the woman to have the ritual, believing she was possessed by an evil spirit.
