Hospitals would rather have a patient straight catheterized 8 times per day than simply place a foley.
Patient in the cardiac ICU (reason enough for a catheter), fully anti-coagulated, bleeding badly from the prostatebecause they would rather bleed him out than do the right thing and put a foley in.
*Medicare dings hospitals if patients get a CAUTI. So they have went to the extreme and hardly ever place catheters.
