A New York woman says she was denied highly effective medication for a chronic, painful condition that’s caused her to contemplate suicide because her neurologist told her she could become pregnant, and the medication might cause birth defects—even though she never plans on having children. In a series of TikTok videos, Tara Rule (@pogsyy) included audio, in which the doctor explains to her that despite the facts that she uses protection, her partner would be willing to get a vasectomy, and she would have to get an abortion anyway (her hypothetical pregnancies would be high-risk), the risks to her hypothetical fetus trump her debilitating pain.
The doctor in question is a neurologist, but he has decided to also playact as her OB/GYN.
The woman has no intention of ever getting pregnant, she just wants pain relief. But the fact that she is of childbearing age and "could possibly become pregnant" means she will simply have to suffer for the sake of her non-existent fetus.
Once again, a woman is made to be a second class citizen to a fetus--in this case one that doesn't even exist. This non-existent fetus has more rights than the actual, in the flesh woman.

No. The neurologist is working within the confines of Nash/von Neumann style "Mini-Max" game theory. If the doc. prescribes the pain killer for the lady and she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a compromised baby or is forced to abort along the way or loses the baby due the drug the doc. faces near infinite legal peril. Please note all of this is in NY a great place to sue docs.
----Mini-Max applied to this context means the chances of the doctor being sued are fairly slim but the consequences of him being sued and losing would be extreme/career ruining possibly.

She needs to find a new doctor and spread the word.
I know no one give a rats hairy behind because this is a female issue, now. If we allow doctors to practice medicine based on perceived future litigation or their own emotional hang ups we are all going to be in trouble.

Exactly so. Right now, a possible, potential, maybe future fetus has more rights over a woman's body than the actual woman currently inhabiting it. It's preposterous.

Specialist docs. in particular have been practicing defensive medicine against lawsuits for decades.

Oh.
You mean how doctors wouldn't prescribe hydroxycholoquin or ivermectin and how, if they did, pharmacists wouldn't fill it?
I can't watch the video and I sorry the woman suffers from cluster headaches - very few maladies are worse. However, does she ever mention the drug by name?
