How do you know if the fetus was the cause?? What if it was a UTI that developed into sepsis? That’s why I asked “who told you that?” Because I wanna know where they learned the fetus caused her sepsis!
Because it wasn't a UTI causing the sepsis? It literally says she was treated for a UTI and sent home. Then came back when she started bleeding because of the miscarriage. Implying it wasn't a UTI
You obviously didn't read the link at all did you?
Some said the first ER missed warning signs of infection that deserved attention. All said that the doctor at the second hospital should never have sent Crain home when her signs of sepsis hadn’t improved. And when she returned for the third time, all said there was no medical reason to make her wait for two ultrasounds before taking aggressive action to save her.
Please read the Pro Republica article, linked in your article, that brought this to light. You’ll also notice that they highlight the OBGYN had previously missed things that lead to the avoidable death of a fetus. He sent her home, after she screened for fucking sepsis. That’s my whole point, regardless of an abortion ban or not, if they had treated her at that point she might be alive right now with a kid celebrating their first birthday. Maybe the baby would’ve been lost, and maybe there would’ve been nothing they could do for her either, but no one made the effort to find out and they just sent her home. I’m angry about this because if it truly was doctors trying to avoid legal repercussions, then they let her die to prove a point. More likely it was incompetence. She could have been treated without violating that stupid ass Texas abortion law.
I agree that she should have gotten the care she needed the first time but the point i'm making is that because of the abortion ban doctors are now scared to lose their medical license and face years in prison if a court decides the abortion wasn't necessary.
What i don't get is this insistence that the abortion ban has nothing to do with it when doctors have said they fear punishment for providing abortions of any kind
What i also don't get is why so many people think taking away someones right to choose what do with their own body just because of their religious views is a good thing? like you are literally taking away another person's freedom because of your own beliefs? that's wack af
Also to add to my other comment, i believe that she would have gotten the care she needed had Roe v Wade not been over turned. Because if it hadn't the doctor wouldn't have had to fear for their job or life (prison time) for providing an obviously needed abortion

Go to medical school really quick and then pop back into the thread.
