Children’s Hospital Hospital is the most preeminent center for pediatric medicine in Southern California. Within three decades, it is also one of the world’s leading destinations for the care of minors. Don’t take my word for it: Chla boasts about its record that provides “high quality, medical care of adults with adults, young adults, and their families.”
Last month, suddenly ended everything, saying its staff at a meeting that the center for Transtouth Health and Development will be resolved. (My daughter is, until this announcement, a patient in the center.)
Do some new medical collapse, some unexpected research drives the decision to cut the care of the sum of 2,500 patients without warning? No.
In other words, hospitalized suits. Forward.
Chla makes transit a week before the 6-3 decisions of the Supreme Court in the United States vs. Skrmetti, which restricts a Tennesse care law that takes care of minors. More than 20 states undergo similar laws that prevent trans minors from accessing many different forms of medical care. The decision that is important to protect laws from future legal challenges.
But the Supreme Court Rule has nothing to do with Chla’s decision. There is no such law in California.
Why, why isn’t a court or law pay, the center suddenly ends, leaving many young patients who need doctors, medicine and procedure? You can think of the answer.
The pressure from the Trump administration threatens the hospital with extreme references if it continues to serve patients. A form of pressure arrived at a May 28 letter From centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, signed by its administrator, the former TV host Dr. Mehmet oz. He announced that his agency would seek financial records in a variety of gender care methods from many hospital hospitals.
Dealing with the choice of custody for a whole class of patients or fighting administration to access financial records is not a dilemma who wants any doctor to face. To be clear, it is not a debate about medical science or proper care for youth. Chla follows science – until it’s not. It is a debate about ideology to who is worthy of medical care.
In the past few months, we saw strong law firms, large corporations and universities forced to fight hard bargains. Live with an administration that you are referring to? Or bring in court war?
In February, if the hospital announced the children’s hospital to stop getting new patients in the Transyouth Center, California Thosety is one more than. J. SHEBBOOKS. They are reminded that they are tightly with a legal obligation to continue to give this care. The hospital is quickly returned to the course.
It is important that the new Chla Board selection marks a large shift that may affect the care of not only patients with young people.
Because what is the chalka chalka made, in fact, an option. In addition, Chla’s choice is acting against one’s own medical advice about urgent care needs. On its website, hospital claims it is “more proud of this heritage in caring for young people in the way to achieve their true self.”
If faced with threats, the board has chosen to take care of a group of patients with hope that it can continue to take care of others. The board may have concluded that following a crude, Utilitarian Lohic: The refusal of the medical needs of some to provide for many more.
That’s not how I saw it. In the seizure of blackmail, they endorse the administration spread. They show that young youths are loud. The board explains that this group of patients is not as worthy of care like others. To deal with Chla in real pressure, its own record of providing “high quality, evidence-based, medical care of evidence” is simply bad.
At this time, it is a trista young. Who is it next time? Disabled children? Kids born outside the US? Chla agreed to play instead of calling it what it was.
As a journalist, I always give the unknown to a source. This is not an action I have taken. The decision means that if forced, even though it is threatened by the court, I do not reveal their identity. Grateful, it does not come for me, even if other The journalists have been to jail to protect sources. If I ruined that vow for once, I was no longer able to do good conscience given it again.
I wonder how the Chla doctors can look at their young patients in the eyes again and promise, no matter what, they fight for their care.
