34. You posted an article without using it to support the header claim. Is there anything in the article that

illustrates your claim? If not, why did you bother to link the article? Or is the article only meant to be an example of your claim? If so, is the link's report a representative example of some kind of doctrinal practice in doctoring in "religious hospitals, Catholic or otherwise"?

Because it's standard practice for hospitals -- religious or otherwise -- to send pregnant women home when they are in early labor, which happens with 30% to 50% of women who go to an obstetrics triage unit of any hospital, religious or otherwise. This happens when labor is not yet "active," meaning the woman is not dilated to at least 6 cm or contractions are not regular and strong enough (typically less than 5 minutes apart). Hospitals send these individuals home to rest and wait for labor to progress, as they are generally healthy and not in immediate danger.
