Porsha was 11 weeks pregnant and experiencing a miscarriage when she came to the emergency room on June 11, 2023. Over six hours, she bled so heavily she needed two blood transfusions. The doctor on duty chose to give her a medication called misoprostol instead of performing a D&C procedure — a choice later reviewed as failing to meet standard care. Her heart stopped three hours after the medication was given. Medical experts who reviewed her case called her death preventable. The Texas Medical Board later sanctioned the attending physician. Porsha left behind her family.
