Naturopath charged after dying baby admitted to hospital

Here is the news article out of Australia. Sad.

Ah, the memories

I was a young teen at a 4-day summer convention of Jehovah's Witnesses.  I got a kidney and bladder infection while there.

It's a serious medical condition that is extremely treatable if you just get some antibiotics.  If not you could be in dire straits.

I was a naive girl with no idea what was happening to my body. I was feverish, in severe pain and had to pee constantly. 

My jw mother sent me to the First Aid station at the convention, which for all I know was staffed by someone with nothing more than a CPR certificate.  The sister there said I probably had a bladder infection which is proof I had sex, even though I assured her (truthfully) I had not.  Who goes around accusing 13-year-olds of having sex?  She did nothing for my medical issue.

I had to run ahead all the ladies in the bathroom line and they complained.

The drive home on the last day of the convention--day 4--was hell.  My mother was convinced I was having sex so she punished me by refusing to stop for bathroom breaks during the 3-hour drive home.  I can't explain the agony this caused.

I did not get to see a dr. when I got home.  I am lucky to have suffered no serious consequences or even death.

As if that weren't enough, the woman had informed my local elders of the "proof I had sex" and my mother and I were called to the church to be interrogated.
