A friend (a physician) asked me to circulate this to ten people. I am WAY over-complying. It would be great if you could send it to another ten people. The goal is to save lives.

Released documents sound alarm on emergency pregnancy care in U.S.

Complaints about pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms spiked in the months after states began enacting strict abortion laws following the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The cases are detailed in federal documents obtained by The Associated Press and raise serious questions about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S. Federal law requires emergency rooms to stabilize patients who are in active labor and provide a medical transfer to another hospital if they don’t have the staff or resources to treat them. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments next week in an Idaho case that could weaken those federal protections.

#Linguistics question: my parents are traveling to Italy later this year. Can someone point me at a #phrasebook or fold-out chart of medical #italian ? The kind of thing you would need to say/understand in the event of a trip to the ER or the like? I'm not doing very well with my own searches, I keep getting directed to romance novels about Italian doctors.

All I want is an #ItalianToEnglish or #EnglishToItalian guide for #emergencies , particularly #MedicalEmergencies . Thanks.
