There's nothing quite like having a telephone call wherein the person on the other end, filling out a form, asks not only for an emergency contact but "is there any religion you would like to list".
Yeah, I was never quite sure how to answer that one. I ended up just saying "no" most of the time. Except for my hysterectomy -- by then, I was attending the unitarian church fairly regularly. When I said Unitarian, she asked if I would like them to contact my pastor. I thought "wow, how cool is that??" but said "no", 'cause I was too embarrassed by the whole thing. I never thought of that -- that they might try to find some religious person of your denomination (if you had one) to come comfort you in the hospital or during your recovery. I always just thought it was a pointless, noisy question, or maybe related to what they would do if (god forbid) you died while in the hospital.
Yeah, I just answered "no", too. I figured an eclectic mix of Pagan and Buddhist would be hard to explain and equally hard to find a Priestess/monk for. :-) Plus I'm not very religious anyways, so... *shrug*
I'd be pretty surprised if this place found someone to come comfort patients. This place specializes in laparoscopy and plastic surgery. You get IN, you get OUT, and you are GONE.
Found out how much it's costing. The mind boggles. I am glad I currently have health insurance... I don't always. Haven't found the right person, however, to ask about video.
