  > from her side of the story seems like they knew she wasn't a meth user I've no idea where you read that from. Her only accounts are that the nurses changing shifts warn their followers she's tested positive, that they repeatedly warned her about the breastfeeding risks and that the social worker doesn't believe she's a user, that's about it. > I'm sure a good lawyer will know how to spin it. And I'm sure even a bad lawyer would know how to dismantle that.

    Every medical professional worth their salt knows that tests are not binary - there is a possibility of false positives. They sent her for another test where results would come in two to three weeks, but that doesn't excuse them treating her unprofessionally. I recall there was a case where the guy was getting a colonoscopy or something along those lines and the doctors and nurses were making derogatory comments about him while performing the procedure (he wasn't completely under), he managed to sue and win some money.

      Nowhere did even this article, with its inherent bias (not a bad thing, a natural thing), even make a comparable claim. The nurses at shift change noted that she had failed two urinalyses. That is a statement of fact, not a derogatory assassination of character.
