That said... I'm curious about how you would've felt if the door had opened to reveal, say, a quiet prayer area decorated with Christian imagery and they had ignored it other than to refer to the patient later in the episode as a "church guy" or something like that. Would it have been as weird?
Yes. But I probably wouldn't have posted about it here.

I always think it's weird when a TV show spends time setting something up and then never goes back to it, even just as a red herring.
I have several close friends who are film producers, directors, and/or editors, and I almost went into the business as a continuity editor. So I probably think about things like this way too much.
