'Right at this moment there is a person in labor preparing to give birth,' write Robin Marty and Leah Torres. 'Thanks to the five far-right conservatives on the Supreme Court, that person will face a life-threatening delivery whether they wanted it or not'
, and nine months since we could make direct referrals to an out-of-state abortion clinic because Alabama considers them a “conspiracy” that could result in jail time. In those nine months, five of the seven abortion clinics in the Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama have closed or moved elsewhere, creating a vacuum for maternal and sexual health care that no legislature has offered resources to fill.
Office manager Tina Collins reopens the West Alabama Women's Clinic for the first time since they closed five days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Tuscaloosa, Ala., July 11, 2022., knowing that if we didn’t see the patients who come to us, no one would. Since then, we have talked to Medicaid patients who can’t get a doctor to return their calls. We’ve treated patients with things as simple as yeast infections who would otherwise wait weeks to get into the county health center.
Nine months is a very long time – for us and for our patients. But unfortunately for our health care system, this is just one short moment. As bad as things have been since the

Post-COVID dyspnea: prevalence, predictors, and outcomes in a longitudinal, prospective cohort - BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground The pathophysiology, evolution, and associated outcomes of post-COVID dyspnea remain unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, severity, and predictors of dyspnea 12 months following hospitalization for COVID-19, and to describe the respiratory, cardiac, and patient-reported outcomes in patients with post-COVID dyspnea. Methods We enrolled a prospective cohort of all adult patients admitted to 2 academic hospitals in Vancouver, Canada with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of COVID between March and June 2020. Dyspnea was measured 3, 6, and 12 months after initial symptom onset using the University of California San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire. Results A total of 76 patients were included. Clinically meaningful dyspnea (baseline score | 10 points) was present in 49% of patients at 3 months and 46% at 12 months following COVID-19. Between 3 and 12 months post-COVID-19, 24% patients had a clinically meaningful worsening in their dyspnea, 49% had no meaningful change, and 28% had a clinically meaningful improvement in their dyspnea. There was worse sleep, mood, quality of life, and frailty in patients with clinically meaningful dyspnea at 12 months post-COVID infection compared to patients without dyspnea. There was no difference in PFT findings, troponin, or BNP comparing patients with and without clinically meaningful dyspnea at 12 months. Severity of dyspnea and depressive symptoms at 3 months predicted severity of dyspnea at 12 months. Conclusions Post-COVID dyspnea is common, persistent, and negatively impacts quality of life. Mood abnormalities may play a causative role in post-COVID dyspnea in addition to potential cardiorespiratory abnormalities. Dyspnea and depression at initial follow-up predict longer-term post-COVID dyspnea, emphasizing that standardized dyspnea and mood assessment following COVID-19 may identify patients at high risk of post-COVID dyspnea and facilitating early and effective managem
