It’s easy to say malpractice, but who’s really running this madness? Separation of church and states is not working. Religion should not take over women’s health. Why those people keep violating women’s rights and blaming women for what they do?
What’s stopping doctors from saving mothers is politicians and judges. Who, have no medical background decide when to medically intervene to save mothers. Doctors will get their license revoked if the court judges the babies should have been prioritized over mothers.
A woman in Illinois has been left infertile after a hospital twice refused to treat her ectopic pregnancy. One doctor told her, as her fallopian tube began to rupture, that they would not help her terminate the ectopic pregnancy - a condition that can kill - because “there [was] a 1% chance that there [was] a baby in there.”
Spoiler alert: there was not.
Ectopic pregnancies occur when the embryo attaches inside the fallopian tube, which is not large enough to sustain fetal development. As the embryo gets larger, the fallopian tubes rupture, and can become septic, leaving the victim unable to become pregnant ever again — if she survives. The standard of care is to immediately terminate an ectopic pregnancy in order to protect the life and future fertility of the mother.
In this case, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital twice chose to prioritize a fetus that had a 0% chance of survival over the life and health and future fertility of a living, breathing woman who was right in front of them and begging for their help.
This is what happens when you allow doctors to prioritize their personal religious beliefs over the life and health of their patients. If you, as a doctor, are so wrapped up in pro-life propaganda that you can’t properly handle an obviously ectopic pregnancy, then you shouldn’t be practicing medicine. This kind of sh!t is the first step on a slippery slope that leads to the kind of situation that exists in Afghanistan, where women have no access to healthcare at all.
If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, that fetus is not viable. No ectopic pregnancy has ever developed into a full-term infant. It is simply impossible — and doctors know this. Allowing this woman’s fallopian tube to rupture so they could make a point about abortion was a disgusting abuse of medical authority, and every medical professional involved should lose their licenses for good.
I don’t care what your position is on abortion. Surely we can all agree that if an embryo has no chance of survival and is literally _killing its mother or rendering her infertile_, it’s time to terminate that pregnancy — can’t we? Can we really not agree on doing something that basically necessary to save a woman’s life and health?

A good public toilet experiencee for me would be, no queue, doesn't smell bad, is clean, a working lock, intact bag hook, ample toilet paper, soap in the dispensers and an efficient hand drier.
Funny how none of those things ever feature in the men's weird toilet fantasies.
I wore an Apple Watch, Whoop, Oura, and Fitbit Air at the same time for a week.
I expected the data to be similar but did not expect this.
Here's what every wearable owner needs to know:
