The crazy thing is they will tell you that in an emergency they will "save the life of the mother" studies, stories, and the deaths of many women proves otherwise. <br />In the late 80s the Catholic clinic that was affiliated with the Catholic hospital made my mother carry a dead fetus for almost 2 months until her body expelled it. She could have become septic. They could have referred her for an D&C (abortion_) at another hospital to terminate but nope they allowed her to suffer thinking maybe they were wrong, maybe her very wanted pregnancy was progressing. It was cruel and dangerous. I didn't even know about it until recently.

She was having a "spontaneous abortion," which is the medical term for what laypersons call a miscarriage. The hospital to which she was taken was Catholic. She needed a D&C but the hospital would not allow it. She very nearly bled to death. <br /><br />That was in the 50s. Later, Catholic hospitals liberalized their policies and would indeed allow D&Cs in such cases, but it's my understanding that we are back in the 50s and they will no longer do them. <br /><br />I would never go to a Catholic hospital.I fear no fishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93265346389994185.post-36559626267751428522013-09-29T10:06:06.738-05:002013-09-29T10:06:06.738-05:00That is so horrible but I am not surprised.

A Catholic "pro life" doctor here in Mississippi came up to a mother who used IVF to conceive and told her "you know you aren't entitled to get pregnant". I think they are sick.

It was traumatic for me to be on the same floor with the same staff each time. Thankfully I rarely saw the doctor who sent me home. When I had my next miscarriage I stayed home and monitored my bleeding. I was scared of being treated the same way again.

We rushed her to the hospital in Dallas (St Paul Hospital) where before a doctor could see her, a nun came into the room and "evaluated" the situation. The doctor then came in and informed us that the hospital did now allow abortions...<br />This was not an unwanted pregnancy, but it was clear to us (as young as we were) that it was not meant to be. Regardless of her pain and heavy bleeding, we were told to go back home.<br />On the way home she got worse and worse and she almost died. She lost the baby that night and almost her life.<br />I will never support any medical facility that places religion above health and common sense. <br />I live in Houston now, but every time I'm in Dallas and drive near that hospital, I still remember the callousness of the nun and the medical staff. And it still makes me angry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93265346389994185.post-734106537291508152013-09-28T21:26:51.172-05:002013-09-28T21:26:51.172-05:00I went to a Catholic hospital in October 2005 to g...I went to a Catholic hospital in October 2005 to get medical attention on a invitro complication. I had hyper stimulation ovarian syndrome in which I gained 15 pounds of water weight and all that ovarian leakage internally was placing great pressure on my lungs and heart. The Catholic hospital laughed at me when I said I did not have sex. Of course not when they did egg retrieval they go through the vaginal wall thus no one wants an infection. So the Ob doctor laughed at me and asked me if I think I am the virgin Mary! I was refused treatment told to go home. Only my own mother would wheel chair me out of the hospital. The bill was over $2000 for them doing nothing. Do not go to a Catholic hospital if you were raped, abortion altercations, invitro altercations and now after reading this article miscarriages.
