content notice: Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Jr., neonatal death
My heart goes out to Jessica Ross, Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Sr., and their child Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Jr. I also extend peace and healing to those reading the news who have experienced loss during pregnancy and birth and whose traumas are activated by the headlines and the media’s sensationalization of them. If today is not the day for you to read some ethical concerns about what happened to this family, particularly around disclosure of medical errors or outcomes, please save this for another day or delete it altogether - I’ve chosen to focus on this family in today’s newsletter, so there is no other content to scroll down toward. Please be gentle with yourself if you do read.
For those struggling with the news headlines and specific details, know that in this piece I do not use the specific language that might be most traumatizing, instead using language like “final birth outcome.”
