I work right across the street from CMC and have it noted in my employee file and my wife knows that in an emergency I am to be taken to Elliot hospital and if for some reason I end up at CMC I want to be transferred to Eliot as soon as I'm stable enough to do so.

CMC will deny you care based on religion. They will let you die. I've had more than one loved one suffer at that hospital only to recover as soon as they left to another.

Do you have any examples of this you can link to? My father and I have both spent time in CMC, we're both strong atheists. I told them in no uncertain terms that I didn't want nuns anywhere near me. They still took excellent care of me.

Yes I've been to CMC for several procedures and there's never a religious push at all. It's completely invisible to the patient if you don't want it and I also have nothing to complain about. I can't say the same about the Elliot, but there you go. I don't know but as soon as it difficult thing and when you need it you need it

Wait REALLY?! I knew it was Catholic (duh) but I had no idea there’d be discrimination based on religion.

What I meant is they will deny you medicine and health care access based on the fact it is a religious hospital. They put religion before healthcare to the point of being extremely dangerous. Avoid this place, especially if you are a woman or obviously not Christian.
