· KRGV (NBC 5)
Lynn Callaway has filed a federal complaint against two Austin-area hospitals, alleging they denied her necessary care during a miscarriage. Despite experiencing severe symptoms and an infection, she was sent home without treatment after visits to Baylor Scott & White and St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center. Callaway claims that doctors hesitated to provide care due to fears of violating Texas's strict abortion laws. Although a new law was enacted to clarify treatment for miscarriages, she still faced delays. Callaway is now seeking investigations into the hospitals under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, citing violations of her rights.
