Sure, that’s the definition or examples of chronic vs. an emergency.
This lady didn’t have diabetes or any other chronic condition or disease.
From the article that you posted:
”Thurman became septic in the hospital due to excess tissue in her uterus that did not shed from her body, causing a serious infection. Thurman needed a dilation and curettage, or D&C, a procedure in which tissue is removed from inside the uterus.”
Septicemia is a life threatening condition. It requires emergency intervention. Apparently this doctor didn’t think it was life threatening as that intervention is an allowed under the GA law. Oh wait, too late in the game he decided that it was life threatening and he performed the D/C…. after waiting 20 hours.
Did this doctor think that he had an alibi by claiming that septicemia after a medical procedure was chronic?
No, the doctor messed up and his political cronies and medical professionals came to his aid by claiming that the law killed her.
You’re a medical professional (I assume). If a person came into an emergency room reporting problems after recent abortion or any other medical procedure and the diagnosis was septicemia, would that have been seen as a chronic condition?
