Settled for $7,500

The doctor who wrote this post deleted my criticisms on her blog. It seems she is determined to be self-serving and biased in her spin, so I will turn to Dr. K. to see if there is room for a true debate.

The heart of criticism was the bit about how the Gyny began “a hormonal birth control method” without realizing the woman was pregnant. She rationalized that even if he had done a pregnancy test, she was only 1 or 2 days post-conception and it would have been negative.

I pointed out that most “hormonal birth control methods” are started in the first days of the cycle. To be “1 or 2 days post-conception” meant s/he’d started about Day 16. And why do we not do that? Bingo, patient might be pregnant and we can’t easily find out.

If the “hormonal birth control method” was the Pill, s/he’d write her a script and give instructions on starting in a couple weeks.

The story really reaks of someone who Norplanted or Depo-Provered for convenience (maybe for fear the patient wouldn’t return? change her mind?) and without regard as to where she was in her cycle. We will never know, will we.

No “hormonal birth control” is OK in pregnancy and you are always supposed to make sure in some way.

Her speculation about how this “meritless” case will lead to unwanted pregnancy, war, genocide, and global warming practically was even more childish and self-serving than original story.

The true cost of this so-called BS lawsuit? We will see that when she or the doctor she covered up for cross paths with a much more critical patient. Their corner-cutting, carelessness, and arrogance with excuses could be much more devasting to the patient.
