Massive bleeding is an unusual complication of this surgery
You can’t blame this on obamacare

Any surgery has risks and that’s why you sign those papers, but you never ever really expect those things to happen
What a tragedy for the family but this is not a case study in obamacare, imo

This happened to my cousin in 1953. She survived the tonsillectomy only to die 3 months later of previously undiagnosed diabetes. By the time the doctor diagnosed her correctly, he gave her too much insulin and she went into shock and died.

See #6. My cousin was also 13.

The funny thing about conservatives is that we’ll argue with each other over nuances. While the leftists will seize an opportunity whether factual or not, and beat it to death to further their agenda.

Actually bleeding is a complication. My secretary’s daughter just went through this, about the same age, and had to go back in to get the bleeding stopped. She came through eventually okay. Part of it was forcing fluids on someone who didn’t want anything to go down her throat. Rough week.

How is it 13 year old girls can sign that paperwork when they seek an abortion without parental (or even judicial) consent?

Girls and women DO still die from complications of botched LEGAl abortions.

Some procedures are more politicized and "sacred" than others, apparently.
