Thank you for this heartbreaking information. I will pass it along to my state legislators.

Just to be clear, for others reading this/

• the 31 yo pontine hemorrhage is a brain bleed. Thirty-one year olds do not get brain bleeds for no reason.

• the 13 yo “transmural infarct” is a fancy way of saying heart attack. His heart is so badly damaged that he needs a medical device to support its functioning or a heart transplant. He will likely never run in gym class again.

• the 17 yo is obviously experiencing some sort of dire brain damage. From a freaking shot she didn’t even need.

This is devastating. If it was only about the increased medical expenses to our state, it would be appalling. But of course the financial costs are nothing compared to the loss of well being and life. God, help us all.
