A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms
Source: ProPublica
Candace Fails screamed for someone in the Texas hospital to help her pregnant daughter. Do something, she pleaded, on the morning of Oct. 29, 2023.
Nevaeh Crain was crying in pain, too weak to walk, blood staining her thighs. Feverish and vomiting the day of her baby shower, the 18-year-old had gone to two different emergency rooms within 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before.
The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.
Now on Crains third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm fetal demise, a nurse wrote, before moving her to intensive care.

I also can't write everything else I'm thinking.

(13,425 posts)for this. It is beyond horrific and repulsive the way this young girl was tossed around, when she obviously was very ill, but wasn't getting the care she so desperately needed. It breaks my heart.
Ken Paxton is a vile, evil, repulsive man. I hope karma is watching close, because he continues to ruin lives under the veil of "being against the law". He makes me sick. He should be in prison.
I just can't stomach any more of this shit from these bat-shit crazy "people"...
