Doctors admitted her care on the night she died was compromised because they were so busy dealing with other cases and had they had more time to treat her "things could have been different".

This story really covers a lot of issues. ROP, abortion, socialized medicine

[Walkingfeather]

” Blood tests showed she had an “extremely rare” and critically low level of haemoglobin, a protein which carries oxygen in the blood, and is a sign of hypovolemi”

She had an EXTREMELY RARE low level of haemoglobin because she was bleeding to death. Yes when you are bleeding to death haemoglobin would be low... also so would every other product of your blood. Hypovolemia= Hypo= low Volemi= Volumn = low blood volumn. Classic case of doctor speak to cover up a major screw up.

....and I use the word “Christian” loosely.

Socialized medicine coming to a E.R. near you

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I wonder how long she had to wait for the abortion.

[denydenydeny]

Well, not very rare, and sure as hell not safe...but definitely legal!

“Legal” is all that matters to people for whom abortion is a sacrament.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Well, thanks--I'm glad someone noticed!

Evidently embryos are referred to as “retained products of conception” there. Nice place.

She would have been killed anyways as the child inside her would be considered a muslim - and Christians are not allowed to harm muslims without retribution

[originalbuckeye]

The inquest continues but no one will be held accountable. That’s what happens when the Government is responsible. You can’t successfully sue the Government.

This case also tells us the state of Christianity in the United Kingdom.

They will be replaced soon.

[muawiyah]

Naw, not a screw-up at all - just a higher level of productivity. You see, your friendly neighborhood abortionist anywhere in the world has but one objective - to kill!

These guys got two for the price of one. Bet they went home feeling lucky.

Hypovolemia and anemia are not rare when you are hemorrhaging.. It is practically the definition of shock caused by blood loss.

[happygrl]

You can make whatever you will of the ROP connection, but it was socialized medicine that killed her.

products of conception is a technical term for anything related to pregnancy. It may have been part of the baby, or part of the placenta that was “retained” after the uterus was evacuated.
After a vaginal delivery sometimes part of the placenta can remain in the uterus, and is a cause of severe bleeding. So the term “products of conception” is not a term necessarily referring to the baby, and it is not related necessarily to abortion either. It is merely an anatomic diagnosis that one sees on a pathology report.
