Georgia Woman Dies From Delayed Emergency Medical Care — thanks to abortion ban

Let’s see, woman had a lawful abortion in another state.

 She had a “rare” complication, I am assuming after she returned home.

Going by the article posted by Big girl, the GA law allows abortions (quoting the article) “only applied to imminent and acute life-threatening emergencies and did not extend to chronic health conditions, even those that can become lethal in pregnancy”.

 Okay, is a rare complication that may cause death is considered “chronic health condition”? I was c reading the federal National Institutes of Health website and it mentioned diseases or conditions that last over three months such as emphysema, heart, disease, cancer, etc.

Perhaps this doctor mistook this emergency situation for the equivalent of a long term condition? 

The laws says that an abortion is allowed for life threatening emergencies. Did this doctor not spot the life threatening emergency? Apparently later he finally decided it was life threatening when it was too late.

It sounds like medical malpractice with a convenient alibi.

Uhhhh…. doctor, you messed up and killed a woman by waiting 20 hours for surgery. You either knew that it was life threatening and therefore exempt from the law and failed to act or you misdiagnosed it and did not think it was an emergency but rather thought it was “chronic” (how is a medical emergency from a treatment chronic). Feel free to choose either option.

 The law had nothing to do with this botched medical treatment and disaster. The doctor and his medical professional colleagues are merely looking for a scapegoat. 

This is an example. A woman has diabetes and HTN before her pregnancy. If complications arise because of her chronic condition, the abortion is illegal.

If a woman develops preeclampsia ( high blood pressure that can cause status epilepticus) because of the pregnancy, and something life threatening occurs, the doctor can intervene

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?

In my opinion no, and I would've treated her, but doctors say that is left up to interpretation so they are afraid of going to prison. It's a sad situation
