A mother-of-three who had all four limbs amputated after doctors were slow to treat an infection contracted during an abortion has told of the horrors she endured as a result of alleged medical negligence as she called for 'exemplary justice' to be done.
Frenchwoman Priscilla Dray suffered septic shock within hours of leaving the Pellegrin University Hospital in Bordeaux following an elective abortion in 2011.
The former shopkeeper, then 36, claimed she had arrived for the procedure in 'great shape' but was 'left to die' when doctors refused her antibiotics for the infection, leading to septicaemia and necrosis before doctors had to amputate.
Speaking today, after doctors appeared before the Bordeaux Criminal Court, she told reporters: 'I'm very stressed... This is something I've waited 14 years for, and psychologically it's not easy... But I need this hearing to be able to have the answers to questions I've been asking for a long time.'
'It's unacceptable that this sort of thing can happen... I expect exemplary justice, a very, very strong ruling that reflects the extent of my suffering, the extent of what they took from me.
'You have no choice but to go on because of your kids. I expect a lot for the extent of the suffering I've endured - that my husband and kids have endured - for 14 years,' she concluded.
Two hospital doctors appeared before the court yesterday, indicted for involuntary injuries with incapacity. Ms Dray is also suing the University Hospital as a legal entity.
The mother of three claimed that her temperature soared to 39.6C hours after she underwent a voluntary abortion, prompting her to head to the university hospital emergency room on July 23, 2011.

‘You have no choice but to go on because of your kids. I expect a lot for the extent of the suffering I’ve endured - that my husband and kids have endured - for 14 years,’ she concluded. Um, lady, you killed one of them. I guess four wasn’t the magic number.
Anyone here speak French? How did I do?
Wait...did the abortionist get confused and rip the wrong body apart?
I’m not a Buddhist, but one of your fellow Buddhists might say that you are inviting some karma on yourself.
Toronto confirmed that she needed the triple bypass surgery and put her on the schedule for 17 months later. She died 4 months after the trip to Toronto.
Ever wonder why over 60,000 Canadians seek health care outside Canada each year? Speaks volumes on socialized medicine.
What happened to this woman could have been avoided had she not had the abortion.
That child would be 13 years old today. What was so bad that she just had to abort?
I mean on one hand I’m glad she’s raising a stink about it because it shows how safe abortion is not but on the other hand has she not had the procedure she would have all 4 limbs and a 13 year old.
Agreed. And keep in mind that she’s a mother of 3. By then she should have figured out....hey, ya know what?....I think I know how babies are made...maybe I should change that if I don’t want another...
bttt
Hmmmm.....
At least you lost yours under anesthesia.
“I think I know how babies are made...maybe I should change that if I don’t want another...”. She sure changed things.
Here's another comment:
Since you made a religious post I assumed you were posting from your religious faith.
Hey, it was you posting religion, and so far it does seem to be an expression of your true religious belief.
