Wrapping his wife in a blanket as she mourned the loss of her pregnancy at 11 weeks, Hope Ngumezi wondered why no obstetrician was coming to see her.
Over the course of six hours on June 11, 2023, Porsha Ngumezi had bled so much in the emergency department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land that she’...
Sure, and then after 1 they’re basically gone as an OBGYN. That talent takes 12 years to make. You’ll go through them pretty fast, no easy replacements, with that proposed policy.
It’s like that bizarre AHA recommendation several years ago, in COVID, advising to just dive into COVID rooms to do CPR without protective gear, raw dog the code, and deal with your own illness and maybe death later, as well as all the family unit deaths after potentially bringing COVID home to the spouse, kids, and elderly parents. No one did. It was full iso gear or nothing. For similar reasons an OBGYN isn’t going to rot in prison and or go work at McDonald’s thereafter doing similar for 1 person.
The thing about health care is each individual is a resource that is used by a great many people. That OBGYN has multiple patients, and can go elsewhere and save many but only if she’s not in prison and still has a license to practice.
The real issue here is our ongoing leadership deficit. Failed leadership, road blocking the resources that are supposed to be there for the protection of their people. Leadership is supposed to be a stewardship role for the well-being of the populace. Instead, we have whatever Greg Abbott and Donald Trump are. They decided to kill women. The OBGYN is just trying to survive those decisions to serve multiple patients another day in a location that allows for it.
Trump, Clarence Thomas, Amy Barrett, Neil Gorsch, Samual Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Greg Abbott decided to kill women, for for the sake of partisan politics and religion. Let’s get that narrative right. And the names. The above names took an active role in killing women. And still are killing women, by legacy.
Leave the OBGYN out of it.
