Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

    It says right in the video in the article that she uses contraception and would have an abortion if it failed. I’m sure she would’ve taken a pregnancy test, but that doctor wasn’t having it. What more do you need to feel like this woman should be “allowed” to receive life-saving medication? She was literally passing out from pain. Then was prescribed a med that dangerously drops her already low blood pressure.

        Yes, I mentioned that in the last sentence of my comment. She said in the video that her blood pressure dropping to a lethal level is very possible due to pre-existing issues.

      I can’t, for technical reasons, watch the TikTok video If she uses contraception and no contraindications are present she should by all means receive an effective treatment.

          It would be interesting to hear of the final ruling.

          I still have the hunch that is more like: according to the treatment guidelines you are supposed to try out this two other drugs first because they have less side effects and are safer.

          Or maybe the MDs in this hospital are all bigoted lunatics. I don’t know.
