the ‘pro-life’ party. monsters.
But think of the unformed clump of cells in her belly!
Death after death after death. The GOP death cult is doing its job.
Sepsis?! They turned her away with sepsis? That doctor killed her. I don’t understand. Anyone remotely symptomatic of sepsis is admitted. UTIs in the elderly are admitted fairly often, not even to intensive care, for far milder symptoms. The source of the infection is chased down. Treatment happens.
Sepsis screening is one of those baked into the medical record things that everyone is screened for. Even before that, separate assessments were done once a day on everyone, in precovid times. There’s no not screening for sepsis. Septic while pregnant is not leaving, except by AMA.
I can only assume that the staff there is so avoidant they treat pregnant women like kryptonite and make excuses to get them out the door as fast as possible.
Are suicides among healthcare workers up in Texas, compared to baseline rates? How about ED staff burnout? Is Texas bleeding ED staff to other states? I’d be surprised if all of those things weren’t true.
I also wonder how many healthcare workers are voting Harris down there.
For those of you still reading, if this young woman had received treatment, she would now be part of the infamous third trimester “abortion” statistic. Engaging that procedure to expel a dead fetus in order to avoid this outcome involves the same medical procedure: an abortion. Statistics usually make no distinction on the context, just that a medical procedure, an abortion, occurred.
She wasn’t the patient, the baby was
Something about reading a story about a teenager dying of sepsis because her fetus had a heartbeat right below another post about a mass shooting in Orlando really pisses me off.
It’s like I told my wife. It’s not safe to be pregnant in the state of Texas. Even if you head to New Mexico at the first sign of trouble it could take 10 hours to get there.
About 20 minutes from El Paso . 10 to 12 hours from Austin, Houston, Dallas and about 15+ hours from SE Texas
Well over 10 hours if you’re on the way border
i hope propublica keeps publishing every single one of these horror stories
And the real murderers have the same plausible deniability that mafia dons do.
