Woman Suffers Fatal Injuries during Abortion

ADVERTISEMENTS

A 37-year-old single mother of four died after a botched abortion at a clinic in New York City. According to a news report, the doctor performing the abortion severed an artery during the woman's procedure. This medical mistake led to massive bleeding and eventually cardiac arrest. The patient was transported to a nearby hospital where she died. The clinic is apparently under investigation by the New York State Medical Board for this incident.

A number of things can go wrong during or after a surgical procedure. During surgery, a surgeon may operate on the wrong body part or operate on the wrong site of the body. After surgery, the patient may suffer from or even die as the result of an infection caused by substandard post-operative care. Things can go wrong even in procedures that may be perceived as "simple" medical actions. If you have been injured because of a surgeon's error or doctor's negligence, you may be able to file a NY medical malpractice lawsuit against the negligent party.
