What are the odds that an 18-year old would have stomach cancer? Meteorite on the head?

She was anorexic and it fit the symptoms. So should every Doctor now do a Freaking
Biopsy on every damn anorexic female and charge 30k now just for a visit to
cover their ass?

And we wonder why healthcare skyrockets, it's because even some Conservatives are
to damn stupid to accept Fate and expect Doctors to be freaking miracle workers.
Then go out and bitch and moan about it.

Well, you cannot have it both ways, so really, STFU before our costs get bigger because
all of you are pushing a simple doctor visit into a full body Biopsy!

Really, WTF!

Doctors should admit that they kill patients. It would be good if EHR someday allows us to see the Iatrogenic Kill Rate for a doctor, like a negative batting average.

No it isn't. It's because:

The government forces hospitals to deliver expensive services to parasites who pay nothing, the resultant subsidies do not cover costs, so in turn the hospitals gouge paying customers (cost shifting)

-AND-

Democrat initiated public policy, forces insurance companies to accept already sick and dying applicants, and faggots who have deliberately destroyed their own health, and charge us all (healthy average people) the same basic premiums. (guaranteed issue/community rating)

You make a valid point, *except* there is nothing in this article that actually states she was anorexic. Nor does it state that she was deliberately trying to lose weight.

Note that the *doctors* assumed she was anorexic based on her being skinny and throwing up after meals. IOW, skinny + barfing + teen female = anorexia. Regardless of what the teen or her family says. Nowhere that I can see does it say anything indicating she was voluntarily or deliberately exhibiting anorexic behavior.

Here is the thing.

She was not anorexic.

That was just the label they hung on her because they apparently couldn't think of any other reason a teenager would lose weight.

Anorexic females force themselves to vomit, with stomach cancer they would not. I say malpractice.
