A Newark woman who said she spent a month in a coma after undergoing an abortion at a Bergen County clinic sued the facility and several doctors there on Thursday, alleging medical malpractice that seriously injured her. Rasheedah Dinkins, who is still recovering in a hospital, filed suit in Superior Court in Essex County against Metropolitan Medical Associates, an Englewood clinic that performs thousands of abortions a year.
The clinic was ordered closed on Tuesday by New Jersey health officials until it corrects the “immediate and serious” risks.
“We expect to get to the bottom of why this incredible results could have happened from such a simple procedure,” her lawyer, Adam Slater, told The Associated Press Thursday morning.
The shutdown order cites problems involving infection control, instruments and equipment used for sterilization.
A woman who answered the telephone at the clinic Thursday said the facility remained closed, but had no other immediate comment. She said a representative of the clinic might comment on the situation later Thursday.
Dinkins, 20, felt ill after undergoing the abortion, and had to be rushed to a hospital by ambulance after she passed out at her home, her family said.
Once there, she was given blood transfusions and had her uterus removed, Slater said. The attorney also said Dinkins suffered a stroke due to serious blood loss, and one of her lungs collapsed.
The closure is only the second time in the last five years that state health regulators have shut down one of New Jersey’s more than 600 ambulatory care facilities on allegations of deficient care.
Yeah, but the baby DIED!
At least she won't have to worry about having another abortion.
" had her uterus removed "
Permanently sterile. Wonder if that little warning was on the consent form...?
Looks like *her* days of "unwanted" pregnancies are over.
Ping.
"See what happens even under the best of conditions? think about how bad this will be if it is outlawed, coat hangers aren't sterile either, and this will happen thousands of times a year to innocent women."
The headlines will practically write themselves.....
From the other thread, 10,000 babies die every year at this clinic.
Yeah, she didn't LOSE her life.
They didn't murder her - she MURDERED her baby and now complains about HER treatment?
LOL!
Go back in your "coma".
No kidding!
And that is what she went there for; now she is fighting mad. She went there for death, and she got a little extra - what is her complaint?
Its all about her, to hell with the life she elected to murder. No more needs to be said I read enough when I read her name - Oh well hope this law suit shuts this place down.
Meaning what?
I didn't see that, but while I looked I saw this:
"[she] said she regrets having ended her pregnancy."
There is only One who knows the truth in her heart, and that is the only One who is her judge.
After 4 weeks in coma, woman sues abortion clinic
We have been advised that being comatose is the same as being brain dead is the same as being a vegetable is the same as having less quality of life is the same as being unworthy of life is the same as having told a playmate, when you were six and a half years old, that you didn't want to play a tuba, is the same as your sister in law saying you told her tubes are icky is the same as her saying you didn't want to be put on life support is the same as letting your no-good boy friend dehydrate you to death.
Dont be stupid - figure it out.
