. My patients, staff, and colleagues could not be more pro-family, pro-pregnancy, pro-life. That is all we do!I started the day returning a phone call to a local OB-GYN as I drove to a surgical center to perform a few procedures. She volunteers full-time as director of a conglomerate of clinics that serve indigent patients, and are funded by Christian groups. She wanted me to help her create a protocol to prevent miscarriages in women at risk.

This tragic situation is one of many that are discovered between 18-21 weeks of pregnancy. But this case was worsened by her inability to care for herself locally, forcing her to travel to New Mexico to end the pregnancy. Texas law gave her no other option. This is an ectopic pregnancy, and when caught early, it can be successfully treated with an injection of methotrexate, minimizing visits to the emergency room, bleeding, loss of a fallopian tube, surgery, and further morbidity.

I got more frustrated and explicitly asked the pharmacist under what circumstance could the script be filled: When the CPT is for hemoperitoneum is used, or when the patient is unconscious?
