Yeah in a nutshell, you're right in these details. Obviously a lot more to it but a portion of this case is about the failure - on a wider scale than just this woman - of the healthcare system and the lack of understanding around women's health. Unfortunately, as happens on the internet, there's little room for nuance. As soon as someone mentions this they can be assumed to be defending the actions of Clancy.
It's possible to believe that Clancy did the wrong thing (duh) and recognize the failure of the health system and the bigger discussion that this brings up around conditions that aren't recognized enough even by professionals.
It's an emotive topic, as it should be, so a lot of people just aren't able to have logical discussions around it. It's so bloody sad and I think the discussions it evokes, when logical, are extremely important in reducing the risks of these kinds of cases (or similar).
