[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the first of what are likely many similar cases that will end up coming to light.
Investigation into maternal deaths takes time.  Some states (i.e., TX) now have a vested interest in not actively pursuing investigations and studies in maternal mortality rates.  And some families will be hesitant to come forward publicly about their losses.
Already, there are multiple stories of women who have suffered permanent loss of fertility due to lack of appropriate medical care.  At least one or 2 of the women involved in the lawsuit down in TX ended up needing hysterectomies due to hemorrhage and/or sepsis.[/quote]
This is what is so confusing and infuriating in these cases. Why exactly is the care being delayed? Is it because the fetus still has a heartbeat? Sepsis and hemorrhage are both medical emergencies and time is of the essence. The mother's life is potentially on the line so why would a doctor not take immediate action? Even if the fetus has a heartbeat it won't have one for much longer is no care is provided resulting in the mother's death. [/quote]

I wonder this too. How can someone who swore an oath actually let a patient die, knowingly? It should be considered homicide.[/quote]

This is where providers are screwed either way. Once again, the DA who reviews abortion cases that hospitals are required to report, is not a medical expert. So a doctor must weigh how sick a woman is becoming vs. their own risk of losing their license. Red states have made it very clear that they are ready to prosecute any perceived misstep by a physician.[/quote]
These cases should never be reviewed by anyone other than medical professionals. The government does not have the adequate medical knowledge to determine anything in these cases.[/quote]
Just like state legislators don’t have the adequate medical knowledge to write these laws.[/quote]
