Bajo las nuevas reglas para abortos, es más difícil lidiar con resultados de pruebas genéticas
Ann estaba embarazada de 15 semanas de su cuarto hijo cuando llegaron los resultados de la prueba genética prenatal, en agosto pasado. El resultado sugirió que a su hija, a quien ella y su esposo planeaban llamar Juliet, le faltaba uno de sus dos cromosomas X, una afección llamada síndrome de Turner que puede causar enanismo, defectos cardíacos e infertilidad, entre otras complicaciones. Muchas personas deciden interrumpir sus embarazos después de este diagnóstico, les dijo un asesor genético a Ann y a su esposo. Pero el consejero tenía más malas noticias: en dos días, la familia ya no tendría...

Sheriffs Who Denounced Colorado’s Red Flag Law Are Now Using It
Dolores County Sheriff Don Wilson never expected to use Colorado’s red flag law when it was passed in 2019. He thought the law made it too easy to take a person’s guns away. The statute allows law enforcement officers or private citizens to petition a county court to confiscate firearms temporarily from people who pose an imminent threat to themselves or others. “All it is is one person’s word against another,” said Wilson, whose sparsely populated territory is in southwestern Colorado near the Utah border. Then, in August 2020, a Dove Creek man threatening to kill his neighbors and himself po...

Keine vorzeitige NHL-Meisterschaft für Colorado Avalanche
Die Tampa Bay Lightning haben in der Finalserie der Eishockey-Liga NHL um den Stanley Cup zurückgeschlagen. Der Meister der vergangenen beiden Jahre gewann bei den Colorado Avalanche mit 3:2 (1:0, 1:1, 1:1) und verkürzte in der Serie auf 2:3. Colorado mit dem deutschen Angreifer Nico Sturm fehlt somit weiter ein Sieg zum Titel. Den Siegtreffer im fünften Spiel erzielte Ondrej Palat etwas mehr als sechs Minuten vor Schluss. Sein Schuss rutschte Avalanche-Torhüter Darcy Kuemper unglücklich zwischen den Beinen durch. Auf der Gegenseite zeigte Star-Torhüter Andrej Wassilewski abermals eine starke ...

Nico Sturm vor Stanley-Cup-Finale: «Mit nichts vergleichen»
Der deutsche Eishockey-Profi Nico Sturm von den Colorado Avalanche hofft darauf, im Stanley-Cup-Finale der NHL seine Chance zu bekommen. «Ich muss jeden Tag bereit sein, meine allerbeste Leistung zu geben, obwohl ich nicht weiß, ob ich spiele oder nicht», sagte der 27-jährige Augsburger in der «Eishockey-News». Das sei «eine unglaublich mentale Belastung», so Sturm, der in den diesjährigen Playoffs bislang sieben Spiele gemacht hat, im Halbfinale gegen die Edmonton Oilers um Leon Draisaitl (4:0) aber nur noch zu einem Einsatz kam. Sturm will den Stanley CupDie Avalanche treffen in der Nacht vo...

Long Wait for Justice: People in Jail Face Delays for Mental Health Care Before They Can Stand Trial
Beau Hampton’s long wait for psychiatric treatment began last year, after he was accused of attacking his foster father and charged with a misdemeanor. The 18-year-old Hampton, who has a long history of mental illness, sat in jail east of Atlanta for four months waiting for an expert to evaluate whether he was mentally fit to stand trial. In February, a state psychologist found Hampton incompetent. Then Hampton had to wait to get a placement in a state psychiatric hospital so he could receive treatment to meet the legal threshold for competency. The treatment delay frustrated a Walton County j...

They Thought They Were Buying Obamacare Plans. What They Got Wasn’t Insurance.
Tina Passione needed health insurance in a hurry in December. The newly retired 63-year-old was relocating to suburban Atlanta with her husband to be closer to grandchildren. Their house in Pittsburgh flew off the market, and they had six weeks to move out 40 years of memories. Passione said she went online to search for the federal health insurance marketplace, clicked on a link, and entered her information. She promptly got multiple calls from insurance brokers and bought a plan for $384 a month. Later, though, when she went to a pharmacy and doctor offices in Georgia, she was told she did n...

Advance Care Planning for Guns: Owners Can Help Ensure Safe Use and Transfer of Weapons
Kerri Raissian didn’t know what to do about her father’s guns when he died of covid-19 in December at age 86 and left her executor of his estate. Her father, Max McGaughey, hadn’t left a complete list of his firearms and where they were stored, and he hadn’t prepared a realistic plan for responsibly transferring them to family members. What’s more McGaughey had lived alone for at least a year at his home in Weimar, Texas, after being diagnosed with dementia in October 2020 — a situation Raissian realized was potentially unsafe but didn’t know how to address. Now, a new tool can help gun owners...

Physicians Are Uneasy as Colorado Collects Providers’ Diversity Data
Shaunti Meyer, a certified nurse-midwife and medical director at STRIDE Community Health Center in Colorado, doesn’t usually disclose her sexual orientation to patients. But at times it feels appropriate. After telling a transgender patient that she is a lesbian, Meyer learned the woman had recently taken four other trans women, all estranged from their birth families, under her wing. They were living together as a family, and, one by one, each came to see Meyer at the Aurora clinic where she practices. Some were at the beginning of their journeys as transgender women, she said, and they felt ...
