Don’t you just hate it when an
abortion is performed on the wrong
woman?
Like was recently the case at a major
“teaching” hospital in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. A healthy woman, four months pregnant,
was mistakenly sedated and given an abortion when she should have been having a
routine check-up. Doctors performed a curettage-- a kind of uterus surgery-- on
her which led to her miscarrying. The curettage was supposed to be performed on
a different woman.
A
hospital spokeswoman told CNN Prima: “An adverse event occurred at our
Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic. According
to the findings so far, as a result of serious violations and non-compliance
with internal regulations by the employees concerned, an operation was started
on an incorrectly identified patient.”
“An
adverse event occurred?!” That sounds like the woman received a parking ticket
or had a fender-bender, not had her baby’s life stolen from inside her.
At the very least, I hope the spokeswoman exclaimed:
“Sorry, our bad! Didn’t mean to mangle
your uterus and kill your kid!”
Well, accidents happen, right? I mean
que sera sera, whatever will be will be.
In all seriousness, this is obviously
shocking and tragic, and especially traumatic to the wronged woman and her
family. Which will now be one fewer than it would/should have been. My heart
goes out to her. And I fervently hope the “serious violations and
non-compliance with internal regulations by the employees concerned” was not
the result of D.E.I. hiring.
