From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has spoken out and thanked the public for their "overwhelming" support after Blues manager Jose Mourinho criticised the actions of his medical staff in the 2-2 draw with Swansea on Saturday.
Down to 10 men after Thibaut Courtois's sending off, Carneiro entered the pitch to treat Chelsea's best player Eden Hazard in the closing stages of the game after he suffered a minor injury, forcing the Blues to go temporarily down the nine men.
Mourinho became angry and animated right at the end of the match when Chelsea's medical staff rushed to treat forward Hazard (watch video below).
"I wasn't very happy with my medical staff because you have to understand the game," Mourinho said afterwards.
"If you go to the pitch to assist a player, then you must be sure that a player has a serious problem. I was sure that Eden didn't have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very tired.
"My medical department left me with eight fit outfield players in a counter attack after a set piece and we were worried we didn't have enough players left."
Carneiro, 41, responded with this message on her Facebook page:
I would like to thank the general public for their overwhelming support. Really very much appreciated.
