it is on the doctor's to either take the risk or quit
people have to step up for change to happen
I agree... However, I do understand the hesitance as well. Imagine spending untolds amount of money, and over a decade in school, only to end up with a 99 year prison sentence for preventing a woman with a miscarriage from dying.
Fuck this country.
"You save this lady's life or you don't have to find a new way to feed your kids" is not a position anyone should have to be put in.
It's easy to armchair say you'd go to prison for it. A doctor who goes to jail won't be practicing medicine again, kinda hard to do CME as an inmate...
It would be much easier to just move to another state without these restrictions.
This has already started happening and the result is that there are growing swaths of red states where there is little to no access to OB/Gyn care. Women in places like Idaho are on waiting lists for OB/Gyns so long that their first prenatal appointment can be as late as 20 weeks into the pregnancy. The waiting list problem doesn't even account for the fact that women are having to drive as much as 200 miles to get to appointments.
