> Her patients often panic and beg for help, but none have had the resources to travel to another state for care.
I wish there was more detail on this. I often wonder how someone is able to get themselves to a hospital, but when faced with death, is unable to get themselves to another state. Not any family member with a car? Not a neighbor? Friend? Not even a bus ticket?
