They don't approve of single parenthood by adoption either |
All three kids delivered there. It’s a hospital… I do not know what you are expecting. They have doctors, medicine and equipment. What more do you need? Also know that people are more inclined to waste time leaving a bad review than they are to leave a good review. |
This is not a comment about Holy Cross specifically, but there is a ton of variation across hospitals in terms of outcomes and experience. Better to be somewhere that is less likely to result in a horrific outcome than more likely. Would not recommend going with this "it has the bare minimum, so what's the problem" approach. I agree that reviews don't tell the whole story but you can look at other metrics as well (rate of hospital acquired infection, for example). |
You made that up. And it is rude and dangerous and bigoted to spread that kind of misinformation. |
Lol, the Catholic Church says being gay is a "inherently disordered" and sinful, that only men can embody the Christlike essence needed for priesthood, and that given the choice between removing an embryo in a woman's fallopian tube or letting her die, you should let her die. But sure, this poster is the bigot. |
The Catholic Church does not prohibit treating ectopic pregnancies. There are several articles out there that say otherwise, but they are incorrect. While there is ethical debate among theologians, there is no restriction in the catholic health care community. It would certainly be helpful though, if the Church would end that theoretical theological debate to align with the actual health care practices. "Catholic health care guidelines do not debate whether to treat ectopic pregnancies, which are never viable and are always life-threatening to the mother." https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/guest-voices/my-ectopic-pregnancy-i-never-want-go-through-again https://www.chausa.org/publications/health-care-ethics-usa/article/winter-2011/catholic-hospitals-and-ectopic-pregnancies |
Guidance is inconsistent and not transparent. Some hospitals permit the removal of the entire fallopian tube, reasoning that the embryo is then just an unintended casualty. This doesn't kill the woman but also needless hurts future chances at fertility and takes away a perfectly functioning body part for their own moral reasoning. Even then, it is neither consistent nor transparent. The U.S. the United States, the Ethical and Religious Directives (guidelines that governs health care provision in Catholic medical centers) writes “In case of extrauterine pregnancy, no intervention is morally licit which constitutes a direct abortion." That leaves some room for interpretation but also strongly implies no treatment allowed. Your mileage may vary according to hospital and theologian. |
Thoughts and prayers. |
Not according to the current pope. Keep up. |
Yes according to the current pope. Read the catechism. |
I gave birth at Holy Cross SS 2 years ago and it was horrible for me as a first time mother. They were understaffed, I was sent directly from my OB to the hospital because they couldn't find movement, and then I had to wait for hours and hours until I was finally taken to a room and induced. I was told there would be two nurses along with my doctor in the room when it was time to deliver, but there was only one and they made my husband hold up my leg the whole time I was pushing (epidural). The postpartum recovery nurses were terrible - I had a 4th degree tear and was in severe pain, and they refused to give me my prescribed pain meds. My husband had to get mad for someone to finally listen and then they said "oh, yeah, your doctor did prescribe oxy." Nobody explained anything to me about my recovery process or infant care. The beds/rooms were old, dirty, and the bed kept moving on its own every 5 minutes, and machines were beeping and beeping without anyone coming to turn them off. I am pregnant again and switched OB offices just to deliver at a different hospital (which is also much further from my house). |
I’m so sorry. I delivered my stillborn baby at Sibley…you couldn’t pay me to set foot there again. There will be horror stories about every single hospital. |
I gave birth at Holy Cross Silver Spring 16 years ago, and because it was a high risk pregnancy (multiples), I repeatedly asked my OBs whether I would be able to terminate the pregnancy in the event that it endangered my life. I never got a straight answer. Thankfully, it ended up being a moot point. |

I would under no circumstances deliver in a Catholic hospital. My living daughter needs her mother more than she needs a sibling (or a misguided effort to save a sibling.) |
