DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.
My wife was denied medical care in Texas because she might be pregnant. There was no reason to think she might be, but they still wouldn’t perform her mammogram, which was scheduled to follow up on a lump she found.
She ended up taking a pregnancy test in a Whataburger bathroom near the doctor’s office. That’s the state of medical care in Texas for women.
How does a mammogram affect a pregnancy anyway?
It most likely doesn’t. One of several reasons it was so fucked up.
babies are stored in the breasts
X-rays
The lump could have been a hatching baby
What’s the point in even becoming a doctor if they’re going to be that pathetic. How would performing a monogram have any bearing on a pregnancy?
I don’t think the doctors are writing these policies mate.
Stupid bureaucratic bullshit going full hands off in an attempt to avoid any and all liability.
You’d think a medical facility that makes treatment decisions based on just the possibility that a woman is pregnant would also have some means of testing for that. Do they just refuse to touch women unless they bring their own pregnancy test in for the appointment? Having to go pee on a stick in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant is appalling.
