He has no real expertise and no way to argue the facts that I presented, so he does a pubmed amateur hour search to link a well known pro abortion advocate questioning catholic hospital practices.
Catholic hospital guidelines are quite clear. Treatment of ectopic pregnancy - whether surgical or medical is fully acceptable as long as the diagnosis is established (and it wouldn't be ethical anywhere if the diagnosis was unestablished).
Linkboy links a "study" (I use the term very, very loosely) which consists of 24 physicians that she chose to interview - she specifically notes that she "recruited" them herself for this paper - they were not even randomly chosen - all whopping 24 of them. Of those 24, many didn't practice in catholic hospitals. Of the 24, she says she found 3 who said that they had to fill out "bothersome" paperwork confirming the nonviability diagnosis, and they had to "sureptitiously" give MTX and then transfer (no explanation for transfer given which is quite interesting given that people given MTX are managed as an outpatient thereafter unless failure or a rupture occurs which is usually not know for at least a week on average). Also, being a chemotherapeutic, methotrexate is only dispensed from hospital pharmacies with special license to do so. the fact that they could give it at the catholic hospital means that they were able to give it. Methotrexate cannot be given "sureptitiously" at any pharmacy. It is a highly controlled and monitored chemotherapeutic agent. It could only be dispensed if the the catholic hospital had given the ok for it's pharmacy to do so in these circumstances - it could not be hidden. I know this well. I was one of the early people using this in the management of ectopic pregnancies
Regardless, let's ignore the absolute rubbish of a study from a highly biased source. Let's just grant every point she wants to make even though she failed to prove it in any way (all she did was interview some like minded doctors who happen to be on staff at a catholic hospital - most aren't catholic by the way). Even so.........
the post was about AOC's false claim about state laws when as it regards ectopic pregnancy management. No state prevents treatment of ectopic pregnancy - medical or surgical.
Regarding catholic hospital practices, they all are supposed to follow the same guidelines. If they are not following them, then they would be wrong. That kind of thing can happen, but it has nothing to do with the Dobbs decision.
Frankly, after reading the nonscientific article as well as the other articles from this person and her general bias is that she took hearsay from those who themselves are bothered with the paperwork part (one side of paper- required only if methotrexate is used & not necessary if going straight to surgery - ashort 2 minute form at the catholic hospital near me), and the transfer comments sound like noncatholic doctors filled with ill-informed rumors that somehow their patient won't get treatment from the catholics, so they transfer them out in case they need surgery that night. Of course that is not true. Having practiced in catholic and noncatholic hospitals in multiple settings for 3 decades, there is no difference in treatment at the facilities whatsoever other than a 2 minute form when treating with medication (methotrexate) where you attest to the diagnosis which i think is a very good idea when you are about to give a young person a chemotherapy drug.
