It says right in the video in the article that she uses contraception and would have an abortion if it failed. I'm sure she would've taken a pregnancy test, but that doctor wasn't having it. What more do you need to feel like this woman should be "allowed" to receive life-saving medication? She was literally passing out from pain. Then was prescribed a med that dangerously drops her already low blood pressure.
Yes, I mentioned that in the last sentence of my comment. She said in the video that her blood pressure dropping to a lethal level is very possible due to pre-existing issues.
I can't, for technical reasons, watch the TikTok video If she uses contraception and no contraindications are present she should by all means receive an effective treatment.
I can't, for technical reasons, watch the video, either, but all the information above is literally written down in the article.
I'm curious why you automatically assume she's lying and not the hospital?
Propably I have some normalicy bias. I actually don't think she is lying. She might not believe the reasons the MDs do not want to prescribe her the drug at the moment.
For example the text says things like this: He also asked about her sex life and whether she’s “with a steady person.” That sound bad but if you look at the product label:
Patient Information
Important questions
...
Are you pregnant? Do you think you might be pregnant? Are you trying to become pregnant? Are you sexually active and not using birth control? Are you breast feeding?
...

Edit: this article gives a bit more info. Inclusive a link to the audio recording (which is still can not access thanks to TikTok). The infos provided are in favor of the patient.
Which is why she's suing and will hopefully take them to the cleaners.
It would be interesting to hear of the final ruling.
I still have the hunch that is more like: according to the treatment guidelines you are supposed to try out this two other drugs first because they have less side effects and are safer.
Or maybe the MDs in this hospital are all bigoted lunatics. I don't know.
