Note sull'episodio
Will doctors get arrested for saving a patient’s life? In this episode, the Drs. Rolin examine the current administration’s decision to roll back federal guidelines that previously protected abortion access under EMTALA during pregnancy-related emergencies. With those protections revoked, hospitals and providers face growing uncertainties, especially in states with abortion bans. Tune in as the Drs. Rolin explore what this means for emergency care, legal obligations, and patient safety on the front lines.
