Muslim Hospital Patient

A recuperating Muslim community Imam prays at the bedside of a patient who is staying on the Phyllis Friend surgical ward, Royal London Hospital, on 23rd June 1993, in Whitechapel, London England. The Royal London is one of London's oldest hospitals, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London. It is part of the Barts and the London NHS Trust, alongside St Bartholomew's Hospital ("Barts"), which is a couple of miles away. Because of the cultural profile of East London, patients tend to be from many faiths, speaking many languages. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
