a teenage girl went to the ER with fever and stomach pain.
she was six months pregnant.
she was excited for her baby shower that weekend.
the doctor checked her throat. said:
“it’s probably strep.”
they gave her antibiotics. sent her home.
that night she couldn’t stop vomiting.
her fever climbed. her body shook.
her family rushed her to another hospital.
this time they said:
“you have an infection.”
“you might be septic.”
but the ultrasound showed a heartbeat.
so they hesitated.
they waited.
they watched the screen more than they watched her.
they sent her home again.
by morning she couldn’t stand.
her lips were gray.
her hands were cold.
back to the ER. AGAIN.
her blood pressure crashed. her organs started failing.
only then did they move fast.
ICU.
tubes.
machines breathing for her.
her mother held her hand and begged.
hours later, she was gone.
eighteen years old.
pregnant.
sick.
ignored.
officially: “complications.”
unofficially: fear of the law.
politicians called it “pro-life.”
but her life was expendable.
her pain was paperwork.
her death was preventable.
