And yet you totally discount the nearest emergency room in Pennsylvania from being able to do the same thing? It had to be a completely different state 3-4 hours away? Give me a break.
Go call somebody else a moron.
She believed that the emergency rooms in her area were not capable of handling the emergency. Whether or not she was right is not the question (Although that part of Philadelphia probably does not have good emergency rooms.)
She did what she thought was best. Whether you or I agree, she was doing the best she could with the information we had. She created a plan in her mind to get better care for the child, and acted on that plan.
That seems to be a good survival technique. How many people have we heard about here on FreeRepublic news stories who don’t have a plan and don’t care and just expect the government to come riding in when their butt is in a sling?
