The idea that someone lives in a supposedly developed country , has very worrying neurological symptomps and is not seen by a doctor for months is barbaric.

That's not what happened? She saw a doctor within a day, and was unfortunately misdiagnosed.

The 29-year-old couldn’t control her left side, even her face. “Literally the top of my head to the bottom of my foot on the left side of my body could not feel anything.” The next day, Agosto spoke with a doctor at the New York City hospital where she works as a medical secretary. He told her that she probably had a pinched nerve and to see a chiropractor.

“Spoke with a doctor” sounds like she had a chat with a coworker on a hallway. If that is not the case and she was properly examined then misdiagnosed then the journalist choose a misleading wording.
