I agree. this is dageroulsy close to Avak Avodah Zara... simply by
allowing the patient to think that he is doing a religious christian
ritual. I don't know exactly what he did. But even if it was entriely
"Kosher" in the actual steps he took (Let's say quoted made some sort
of generic Posuk or soemthing). It deifnitely violates Halacha to be
doing so.
