Surprise, her cost was only about $4K!

She also had two failed treatments, then a laparoscopic surgery, with many visits and tests in between.

Surprise, half of those tests and visits she did the ultra-expensive way lazy foolish people do, through the emergency department! The article tries to justify this obvious issue, by quoting some meaningless hand-waving from some guy, insinuating that if your medical is!sue is dangerous, you should do all your followup through....the emergency department....obviously nonsense.

They then go on to pretend that in Texas, with abortion laws that freely allow dealing with this non-viable and life risking situation of ectopic pregnancies, somehow prevents or delays treatments. They go on to cite unnamed doctors, who claimed to have risked their patients lives delaying treatment for such dangerous situations, due to being too dumb to understand the law. Admitting this on the record, even in Texas, would likely put one's medical license in question and possibly lead to criminal and or civil charges.

The false nonsensical narrative trying to be pushed is that the law prevents treating a life threatening situation, until the damage is already done. This moronic sucker-line suggest, while waving their hands in the air as a distraction, that hospitals and doctors are idiots and don't know if an ectopic breach is required before it is legally okay to treat this always life threatening situation. The moron logic, highlights that hospitals, when unsure, should default to risking a patient's life, rather than finding out or following their legal and license obligations.

Thanks. That's about what I figured.
