FULL TITLE: West Virginia hospital sees many patients with abortion complications, says Doctor who supports admitting privileges for abortionists
“We commonly (I personally probably at least weekly) see patients at Women’s and Children’s Hospital in our emergency room or ultrasound center with complications from abortions at the centers in Charleston: so much for “safe and legal.” These patients are told to come to our hospital because the abortion clinic providers do not have hospital privileges to care for their patients, so we must treat them as emergency “drop ins.… No other medical providers are allowed to care for patients, have no backup coverage, and then abandon them to the emergency room. We would be held ethically and legally liable.”
Dr. Bryan Calhoun, vice chairman of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at West Virginia University. The statement was made in the letter he wrote on June 30 first, 2013, to West Virginia Atty. Gen. Patrick Morrisey, who was considering new clinic regulations.
“Botched Abortion Patients Land in Hospital Weekly, Says Doc” OR Frontline News Action Report Fall 2013
I didn’t see anything in the article as to how these doctors code how the insurance filings for these “complications” are handled. There was an informative article earlier here today about what all that means.
I’m taking it that this was a statement this doctor made to the attorney general...while under oath? I remember this attorney general was/is considering regulations for abortion mills. I had no idea that doctors from local hospitals spoke to him
In my mind, any local scrutiny of abortion mills with respect to their particular performance is a good thing. They are murderers IMO and they should be treated like common criminals who murder people.
Is Dr. Who really a doctor or a Time Lord?
But many women are being maimed. And not just physically.
