A federal investigation found that Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital broke the law by failing to give a woman timely medical care for an emergency pregnancy condition. Kyleigh Thurman filed a complaint against the hospital in August after seeking care for an ectopic pregnancy — when a fertilized egg implants somewhere outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies cannot be brought to term and are life-threatening when not treated early.
