Can you help me find information about a woman who died in a car crash in Chicago and the family is suing her employer?

I should get paid for my Google-Fu

Thank you! I looked for that ten different ways.

Mercy bought the Jewish Hospital. Isn’t Mercy Catholic?

It’s the Crusade all over again.

LOL. My sister actually liked working at one of the Holy Cross Hospitals. Although, it really bothered her when they made a woman patient who needed an abortion for devastating reasons, she wanted to be pregnant, have to be moved to another hospital.

She worked at a Jewish hospital at one point that had a bad patient nurse ratio too often on some floors.

Probably it partly has to do with who is at the top of the hospital chain or if it is a smaller or solo hospital. I assume Mercy has different people in charge than Holy Cross for instance. The books are probably handled separately. I really don’t know how that works though? I mean is the Vatican demanding the balance sheets reach a certain goal number for all Catholic hospitals??? I have no idea.

Can’t Jewish people be merciful? I don’t know the situation but I don’t think Catholics have a patent on the word Mercy. I would be curious to know if there is an alliance or how the name was chosen. My first though was also that Catholics often call their hospitals Mercy. I was thinking it was cool that a Jewish hospital reclaimed the word but there may be an interesting story there.

@Judi No we can’t! Never! ;-)

@Judi It says Mercy bought the Jewish hospital. So, I figured a Catholic “company” bought the hospital that previous was run by a Jewish organization.

I think it’s like if Brother is in the name it is Catholic. I didn’t know that until recently. A school not very far from me was Christian Brothers, and I thought it was a Christian, not Catholic school, but it is a Catholic school. The name conveys which religion.

Although, it was recently pointed out to me that Baptist churches have now all been changing their names so people don’t realize they are Baptist. I don’t think the Baptist hospitals a doing it though. At least they weren’t where I lived in TN.

Ha! I just called a church in my new city that said it was Lutheran but didn’t say which synod it was affiliated with. I just left after over25 years the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church because they had become so right wing fundamentalist that they no longer seemed affiliated with Jesus. When I asked the pastor he told me that they were indeed Missouri Synod but they left that information off of their website because they were worried about being pre judged by people like me who had a bad taste in our mouths.

Back to the question at hand – I am thinking the woman would not have a leg to stand on but I could be wrong.

As far as Catholic names, (and no, I’m not Catholic so this is not a defense of Catholics), they have all kinds of weird names like Our Lady of Perpetual Help and stuff like that. It’s not saying other religions can’t be helpful, it’s just what they call themselves.

@jca I think we tend to be familar with what names are used. If I see Our Lady or St. Something Holy Cross, or Mercy, I assume Catholic. The Brother thing I didn’t know until a few years ago. Jewish Hospitals and synagogues are Beth El, or actual say Temple something or Congregation Shalom whatever, something in Hebrew a lot of time. The Episcopals seem to label their churches as Episcopal, and so do the Presbyterians, and even the Catholics although they have the second name St. Judes or whatever. The church still says it is a Catholic church usually, at minimum they aren’t trying to hide the religious affiliation I don’t think. But, this thing the Baptists are doing, I have no idea, the names seems random to me, but maybe there is some sort of cohesiveness about it that eventually some of the names will be obviously Baptist to people? Basically, they are trying to trick people into walking into the door, just like what @Judi was talking about, but I didn’t know the Lutherans are doing it too. I don’t know what I think about it.

@Judi So, do you think they actually are different? Or, just a name change?

They are still Missouri Synod but according to the pastor they’re rebels. here is a rule that says all church promotional material must include the Missouri Synod logo. He said, “I would love to be arrested by the church police for not having the logo on my website.”
e are going to check them out on Sunday.

@Judi I always find that sort of thing confusing. Some things are dictated by the religion, but then the particular pastor or priest, and I guess rabbi (I don’t even know) puts their own slant on things and influences the mood of the congregation I guess.

It’s seem odd to me for Lutheran or Baptists to be different types of Lutherans or Baptists, but toally normal to me that Judaism has reform, conservative and orthodox, and various types of orthodoxy. I don’t understand how it all works. My Mormon friend said when she moved to a new city the church told her where she would be going to church. I don’t know if that means she can choose a different one nearby, but she liked that she was kind of assigned, instant community, and Inguess everyone is on the same page. She is very involved, teaches bible study, or wahatever they call it, to the very young children before school starts. When I talk to her I am ready to become Mormon. LOL.

I think you’re assigned a church by neighborhood if you’re Mormon, We have apartments that have been rented to Mormon Missionaries for years. Maybe someone with Mormon experience can tell us for sure how it works.
In most Christian denominations, the church hierarchy sets the doctrine and the pastors interpret it. With Lutherans, I think most of the doctrine was set by Martin Luther in the Book of Concord so now we are interpreting his interpretation. Ugh.

@Judi Oh. :). Are the Lutherans all on the same sermon on a given day like the Catholics and the Jehova Witnesses?

Not the same sermon but they usually have an Old Testament Scripture, a Gospel (Matthew, Mark Luke or John) scripture and a “Lesson” or Epistle Scripture which is from one of the letters that comprise the rest of the New Testament. There is usually 3 or 4 paragraphs in the assigned reading. Although not bound by it, the sermon is usually based on one or more of those readings. The Pastor usually writes his own sermon so different pastors can have entirely different takes on the scripture reading.

@Judi Yes, that’s how it works. Mormons are assigned to which ward (house of worship) they go to.
