If you work at a truly Catholic hospital, not just one in name only, YES, you do abide by Catholic social teachings. If you aren't willing to, then why work there?

Not at the hospital in question. I personally know a gay physician who is agnostic on staff right now at St. Joseph's. Uh...and you work there because they have a good medical staff, offer good benefits INCLUDING to gay life partners.

But you wouldn't know that because you don't know anything about hospitals or the fact that they can't discriminate in their employment practices because they take LOTS of federal money!!!

Have fun guys...I'm driving home from work now!

I'm not sure you understand what sort of agreements people make to work at a Catholic hospital. They are primarily prohibitions on providing abortion, contraceptive sterilization, birth control and in vitro fertilization. Your average doctor may disagree with some of those prohibitions but never have to deal with them in his or her position at a hospital. Others simply refer out.
