Almost killed her instead of D&C, which is the safe, quick procedure Hopkins used with my wife's two miscarriages.old salt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 10:01 amThere was nothing wrong with the TX law. It took 3 doses to get the right amount. Some Dr's require the 2nd & subsequent doses (if needed) to be administered in their office, in case of complications. This was due to lack of follow-up with &/or by the Dr.Crazy, stupid, dogmatic a-holes.About one in every five pregnancies end in miscarriage. Hope it’s not your wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law.

This is a chemically induced abortion, not a morning after pill. The patient should not be left unattended. Complications should be anticipated.
Also refused to prescribe the very safe and much more effective dual drug one dose regimen with mifepristone along with misoprostol. Just prescribed the second, which is less effective by itself and way more often results in dangerous complications. Why? Because Texas has declared that mifepristone is unsafe. Stupid and wrong.
The Texas law puts doctors and institutions into major legal risk if they actually care for the woman according to national standards of care. The docs and institutions know there's a dominant political regime, and many rabid followers, on the warpath to punish anyone doing any sort of 'abortive' procedure. Burden of proof on docs and hospitals.
