A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

New: A #Texas Woman Died After the Hospital Said It Would be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage
--

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care.

She'd told her husband that the medical team said it couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

Some unplanned medical tourism including an emergency appendectomy:

"Our insurance doesn’t cover us when we’re overseas, so we ended up paying out of pocket for all of it. That thought scared me at first, but all told, our bill was, conservatively, about 1/30th what we would have paid out of pocket in the US. In fact it was considerably lower than what we would have paid in copays in the US even *with* insurance."

It doesn't have to be like this.

This is getting seriously ridiculous!

It is one thing that somebody doesn't WRITE their own papers, and another if they don't PROOF-READ their own papers – but a completely different thing altogether if the editors and reviewers don't read/see what's been written in a manuscript! Good lord!
