Woman goes to ER, kicked out for trespassing, dies in jail.

What's with all the Spiderman pics Ed?

I'm bored.

Go back and given a better answer to my question about everything

That sounded rather demanding.

I noticed that Grumbler once again wishes to go down a semantic rabbit hole to avoid the idiocy of his first statments that this sort of thing could not be diagnosed by a emergency room physician because rather surprisingly emergency room physicians are not able to do so.  That sort of uniformed comment should be corrected.  Now that it has I can ignore the rest of Grumbler's foolishness.

I don't think anyone is confusing your rearrangement of my argument with my actual argument.  I don't blame you for trying to weasel out of your strawman arguments.  They were, as you yourself noted, foolish.  I agree with you that it is better for whatever remains of your cred that you slink away (or, as you reword your rout, "ignore the rest of" [my arguments]).

Btw, when I had to had tests run, my physicians just wrote a "prescription" of what I needed done and it was up to me to find a testing center.

Ah, so being a mom is somehow unneutral.  Despite being accurate.  I suppose it's not accepted.  Perhaps the article should have been title "Human ceases to live".  I guess this is part of that "Liberal Media" conspiracy theory that I don't understand.

Okay, here's my journo friend's response.  I had simply asked him what he thought about the headline.

I think that's a bad headline -- what you have to weigh is the fact that she's a mother relevant to the story. In this case, it's not -- it's secondary or tertiary at best. I think they are using this to gain additional sympathy for the homeless woman. It sounds more tragic if she's a "mom" rather than a woman.

Yeah, exactly, any doctor with a pad can order a test if the doctor thinks the test is necessary to treat, for example, a patient in an emergency ward.  The issue on these facts is it seems apparent there was nothing to alert these doctors to the fact she was suffering from blood clots.

I suppose it sounds more tragic if she's a woman as well.

I agree with spiess and his friend... but I thought the reason for the 'mom' headline was pretty obvious from the beginning.

Rule # 1 of journalism is you have to have a good guy and a bad guy.

The kids are living with Grandma. The court wouldn't let mom stay with them.
