Sigh...Hope they have a good reason for what occurred!

Still doing this, are we?

Unfortunately this seems to be the policy at many hospitals all over the world.
Many years ago it was my pastoral duty to visit a member who was a tailor. When a family member needed emergency and he did not have the funds to pay for the medical help received, the Adventist Mission hospital confiscated his sewing machine and only source of income.
I asked the reluctant hospital return the sewing machine in return for a note where he promised to pay when he had earned the money. They found his sewing machine in their dirty warehouse gathering dust and rust doing nobody any good - just to follow policy.
Do we have an inborn reluctance to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and prefer to follow man-made policies?

Unbelievable. This is the type of instance when I wish the name "Adventist" wasn't on the Hospital sign!

What can we do about it? Challenge the copyright on the name?
