An Ohio woman who’d sought treatment at a hospital before suffering a miscarriage and passing her nonviable fetus in her bathroom now faces a criminal charge, her attorney told CNN.
I love how the article makes it sound like she signed herself out AMA. I am certain they left her to rot in the waiting room for hours each time until she gave up on waiting and went home. You don’t have to sign AMA papers to leave and the hospital can still write it up that way (and charge your insurance).
Whoa now. The paperwork we produced with no input from the subject clearly states they left against medical advice. Which was “bleed quietly in the corner so you don’t scare the kids with flu.”
