How a small-time drug bust ignited a feud between police and a Catholic hospital

The case then swerved into unusual territory: The man would not agree to the procedure, so the police got a judge to order it. The doctors refused, saying it was dangerous and unethical — and later added that it violated the hospital's Catholic principles.
