A Tragedy

A friend of mine who knows of my current medical situation sent me a link to stltoday.com's current article about a woman who was refused treatment at St. Mary's Hospital. The woman refused to leave. She got sent to jail for trespassing and died within a half-hour at the jailhouse.

This woman tried to advocate for herself. She was turned away. She risked everything to get treatment - even her life.

We cannot let this type of "provision" by our health care systems continue!

If you would like to read the story, cut and paste this link into your browser (for some reason, I am unable to hyper-link it for you...):

Please pray for this woman's family and for all of us who fight the fight for good health care!
