Tara Rule says her doctor in upstate New York was “determined to protect a hypothetical fetus" instead of helping her treat debilitating pain.

    I agree with the points made in this article, but I don’t think they did due diligence in reporting on what doctors or hospitals blacklisted her and why. I’d like to know the reasoning behind why she was denied treatment everywhere locally. I suspect that there’s an interesting story there.

      Yeah there’s an interesting story, the doctors lied about her to other doctors:

      According to Rule, after she shared audio recordings of her interactions with the neurologist on TikTok, an employee at the hospital contacted another hospital in the area, alleging that Rule livestreamed her appointments. This led to Rule’s removal from the second hospital, Malta Medical (also under Albany Medical Health Partners), in the middle of treatment for her cluster headaches. Rule denies livestreaming.

        Right, and it’s great that we hear her side of the story as it truly is an injustice. I also noticed that the writer did say that they wouldn’t comment on ongoing litigation, but still, what about all the other hospitals that blacklisted her, right?

        Also, not a smart move on her part publicizing that stuff before the trial, but that’s neither here nor there I suppose.

        Anyway, I hope she wins the shit out of that lawsuit!

          I can’t fathom how women deal with this bullshit day in and day out. Yeah, hopefully she wins enough to give pause to the other assholes who want to tell people what they can and can’t do with their bodies.

            Me either. My wife, for example, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, IMO, a total cop-out… and now they see in imaging that the pain is likely from arthritis.

            Fuckin frustrating.
