A Woman Was Denied Medication for Being of 'Childbearing Age.' She Just Sued the Hospital

79. They can dump you. If she's been dumped and think she might have been, it will be interesting.

I was gonna sue when I was dumped, but the lawyer told me I was out of luck. They dump to avoid liability. When I read the article, it sounds like she's been a bit of a PITA. They can dump you for no reason and if you're a complainer, they will dump you. It's disgusting. It sounds like she's having trouble getting medical care in general, so that's why I think she may have been dumped.

I was dumped when I was pregnant. She's having to go out of state for treatment...(It almost sounds like she's blacklisted)

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. In the lawsuit, Rule alleges her nurse practitioner at Malta discharged her against her will with the help of armed security, but her insurance company was told that she voluntarily left mid-treatment, which Rule argues amounts to falsification of records. Rule also alleges that the nurse practitioner who had her removed at Malta violated her privacy rights by sending Facebook messages to Rule’s partner that include her medical details.

In the months since Rule was denied care at Glens Falls Hospital, she maintains that she’s been “essentially blacklisted” by hospitals in the area, forcing her to travel out-of-state for medical care and incur significant out-of-pocket costs.
