As you probably saw in Mr. Browne's message, it should read duhovni, not
 dukhovni. Unlike mr. Browne I would go for
spiritual because I never heard of a chaplain's office in our hospitals. (But -
 I'm asking around.) And - speaking of
hospitals - it should be written bolnis[hachek]nice, because bolnica (f, sg,
 nominative) is a female patient. A pretty
common mistake, though.

Bye, Katja
