>>> This is the harvest from sowing the 'it takes a village' mentality.

This is also the harvest from sowing the managed health care system.

Did she get the script for the patch from a clinic? Planned parenthood? Or did she go to the family physician?

Family physicians are unheard of so I will assume it was a type of clinic.

So did this 'clinic' just hand over a script for this? Or did they do a work up?

Ortho Evra is documented to cause a higher rate of blood clots. Do the clinics screen black girls for genetic diseases like sickle-cell? Or is that politically incorrect?

Also, complications like this seldom show up and instantly make someone suddenly drop dead. I wonder if there were warning signs that she was having a bad reaction to the medication, and they weren't followed up on (by girl *or* parents *or* physician -- any/all could have been lax).

So many questions, so little information in the article.
