        There are so many #human tragedies in life. We reduced harm to #patients by 90% simply by creating great team of leaders and good governance and creating great team working and excellent #ptsafety culture and learning culture

        This is horrific commentary on a supposed thoughtful society. Judicial overreach at is best and repressively punitive to suffering women at its worst.

        The physician who called the cops should be named and shamed.

        Doc probably had to report and then police needed to be sure that their story was true. It should have ended when the autopsy proved that, and she should have been treated compassionately throughout the process.

        Can we get more reporting on this—“Later, at an emergency room, the physician treating Dellis heard her story and called the police.”—and how, among other things, it discourages truthfulness between patients and their physicians? Is this another Purvi Patel fact pattern?

        The people who fearmonger the most about Sharia Law want to implement their own version of it.

        I can argue both sides of the legalities which, imho, means it’s @ “bad law” but there is no way I can see or understand why this young woman was sent to prison. We must have some qualitative mercy to our justice system

        That judge should not be a judge nor the doctor a doctor...if you do not understand the basics of human physiology then you are grossly incapable of doing your job in both instances. Very sad :(
