Vitals (Dr. Geoffrey Golembiewski)

Vitals (Dr. Emad Ahmed)

"These women report troubling experiences at local hospitals in Athens, Georgia, alleging that a doctor has denied them essential treatment, downplayed the seriousness of their condition, and wrongfully implied that they are seeking drugs rather than medical care."
