@mom2collegekids I do know people who will avoid Catholic hospitals because they want to avoid doctors and nurses who think that praying helps.

@pheebers Ok, that’s weird. lol. It’s not as if only Catholics pray …and there are certainly many non-Catholic doctors and nurses who work at Catholic hospitals.

How do these people know that their doctors and nurses at secular hospitals aren’t praying??

Heck, even if I were an unbeliever, I might be happy to think that those caring for my sick loved one won’t give up hope and will think that maybe a higher power will intervene.

I wouldn’t care if the health professional thinks the rabbit’s foot in his pocket brings him good luck.

Either way, at @thumper1 mentions, no one forces anyone to pray for a successful outcome at a Catholic hospital.

How do these overly-sensitive people deal with the fact that many of our gov’t assemblies open with a prayer?

I also have a non-religious friend who likes the local Catholic hospital because she finds it comforting, even though she doesn’t believe.

Sometimes, there are no atheists in a hospital room.
