The Well-Timed Period comments:
As long as it’s acceptable in this country to debate and set policy based on the premise that, if a patient is female, she may only receive care if, and only if, her life is in danger, you don’t have a leg to stand on [chances are, quite literally if you’re female and your condition isn’t deemed life threating enough to operate and save said leg].
As things stand now, the Drs. Christiansen of the world, your neighbors, politicians, and complete strangers get to decide how close to the brink of death you may be permitted to get, before you’re allowed to receive adequate medical care.
