It's called the Tepeyac Family practice, I believe...<br /><br />I was so excited to discover them and have already made an appointment! :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526129548370052853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153878925570190221.post-82340595965486346222010-01-02T13:00:47.820-08:002010-01-02T13:00:47.820-08:00Thanks Jessica:

Ironically, 98% of my patients ARE Catholic, and they are the very ones whom I try so hard to sway against birth control, and certainly against abortions. My practice has taken a major financial 'hit' in the past two years because I am so pro-abstinance with my unmrried patients and pro-life in general. It's been very difficult -- especially trying to live out my faith, while trying to ffed my two little children. So I continue to pray that God will open professional doors and/or that I accept the cross of 'living on the edge of financial ruin', while busily practicing medicine. You get the idea. Many thanks to you.

I will...Wow, what an honest testimony, MujerLatina! I will pray for you. If you haven't had a chance to read it, "Physicians Healed" is a great resource and is full of testimonies of physicians who've gone through the same journey. It's available through One More Soul. You may find other resources/ testimonies on my blog as well.<br /><br />Sarah, thank you for this post, for your testimony and authenticity. While NFP can be abused, the gifts far outweigh the dangers, not the least of which is getting people away from contraception, which are usually abortafacients.Jessicahttp://www.nfpworksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153878925570190221.post-25613468378906263272009-12-28T05:20:59.031-08:002009-12-28T05:20:59.031-08:00Mujer Latina,
You certainly are in a battle zone. ...Mujer Latina,<br />You certainly are in a battle zone. I prayed a rosary for you and will continue to keep you in my prayers. May God lead you in calmer waters. Is is possible to start your own Catholic practice? I know personally, I would love to be able to go to a Catholic physician and not have birth control pushed on me every time I go to the doctor's office. May God Bless you for your faithfulness!

This is your best post ever. I learn...WOW, Sarah! This is your best post ever. I learned a lot, especially as a physician who struggles constantly with the contraceptive issues with my patients. I try to promote NFP, but find that many of my patients are ignorant even to what ovulation is, let alone the prayer and discernment piece. This is such a dicey issue, especially amongst my teenager/secular patients. I am unable to say much more about this because of confidentiality issues. But may I request that you pray for me, my practice of medicine and my patients? This has been an on-going, shall we say, 'confessional' conversation -- and I daily make greater strides in my decisions as a physician vis a vis my patients. With the government forcing our hands, we doctors are coming under more and more scrutiny and pressure to, say prescibe the 'morning after pill' -- when I say 'no', sometimes patients will even call their insurance company to complain... you get the drift. I feel I am in a virtual spiritual battle. Thanks for your post, the links, and your prayers. Blessings to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
