The Party of Life does it again

Based on what had been posted about the case the law is a moot point.
They missed a pregnant septic woman.
Pregnancies have little effect on how you treat sepsis (certain antibiotics aren’t used but there are numerous other choices). In fact a pregnant woman typically is treated more aggressively in the case of possible infection to avoid sepsis because it’s a risk to both mother and fetus.

That’s based on 25 plus years of doing ER and IM.

IMHO the excuse of delay of care to assess fetal status is BS, that’s done simultaneously and takes literally 10-15 seconds to do a fast scan (US).
If the treating doctor is trying to use the law as some shield he’s a quack and would be destroyed on the stand.
Not to mention the fool that discharged her the visit before.
Infections in the pregnant carries a higher index of suspicion to investigate and treat aggressively.

All of this is based on what the article says.
They even say “may have delayed her care”, well that’s BS she needed the care before she got there the third time. Sounds like she was in bad shape on the third admission to the ER and that point the horse has left the barn.
