It's worth pointing out that this is a Catholic hospital and they will not perform any procedures that are contrary to Catholic doctrine.

Thank you for pointing that out. It is also a good reminder to any and all of the need to research hospital policies before you get sick and are rushed to the emergency room.

It is also a good policy to keep a card in your wallet with the name and, preferably, cell phone number of your parish priest or minister. Nowadays, hospitals no longer keep track of a patient's religious beliefs. If I am in a serious accident, the last face I want to see is that of a priest annointing me with holy chrism.
