SUSPENDED - License of doctor who performed abortions |
Mississippi suspends license of doctor who performed abortions
Associated Press
The Sun Herald
Thursday, August 19, 2004
Jackson, Miss. - Mississippi authorities on Thursday
suspended the license of Dr. Malachy DeHenre, who has
performed abortions at a Jackson clinic.
The action mirrors a license suspension in Alabama, where
officials say one of DeHenre's patients died after having
an abortion last year.
"We couldn't wait another day to take action," said Dr.
W. Joseph Burnett, executive director of the Mississippi
Board of Medical Licensure. "He won't be practicing in
Mississippi."
The state board is scheduled to meet Sept. 16, but
Burnett and the board's executive committee agreed to
take action Wednesday. An investigator located DeHenre,
53, on Thursday to serve the suspension documents, and
the suspension took effect at noon. DeHenre lives in
Laurel.
The Alabama State Board of Medical Examiners concluded
DeHenre practiced medicine in a way to "endanger the
health of patients" and committed "repeated malpractice."
Alabama's board suspended his license as of July 28. He
has a Sept. 22 hearing date to respond to the charges.
DeHenre could not immediately be reached.
If Alabama acts to revoke DeHenre's license, Mississippi
officials have the authority to mirror that action,
Burnett said.
DeHenre, who has the right to appeal the Mississippi
suspension, has been performing abortions at the New
Woman Medical Center in Jackson for about five years.
Part of the Alabama investigation looked into an abortion
he performed at the Jackson clinic on March 20, 2003, in
which a woman "began hemorrhaging uncontrollably" and was
taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center,
where she received a total hysterectomy, the board found.
Pro-Life Mississippi of Jackson has lodged complaints
against the doctor with state agencies since last year.
"Thank goodness it finally happened," said the group's
executive director, Pat Cartrette.
Jackson has one other abortion clinic, the Jackson
Women's Health Organization.
In the case against DeHenre in Alabama, a woman at the
Summit Medical Center was discharged 20 minutes after
having an abortion on Nov. 25, 2003. She sustained an
unrecognized uterine perforation during the abortion, the
Alabama board said.
Less than six hours later, her husband contacted the
medical center and said she had abdominal pain and a low
temperature. She died about 18 hours after her discharge.
The woman was identified as Leigh Ann Stephens Alford,
34, of Blount County, Ala., in court papers filed in June
by her husband. The court filing is the first stage of a
wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against Summit
Medical Center of Alabama and the doctor and staff that
treated her. The suit represents only one side of a legal
argument.

Good. This is exactly what should happen to any medical practitioner who
commits malpractice. This applies to any medical field, not just
obstetrics.

Sure. Any doctor that practices medicine in a way to "endanger the
health of patients" and committs "repeated malpractice" should have their
license taken away. Who could disagree with that?

What an understatement it is to refer to the premedidated
taking of life by a doctor as "malpractice"!

That is not what the basis of the decision was. Abortion is
legal, even in Alabama. If abortion was illegal in Alabama,
then all doctors who perform them would be prosecuted, but that
is not the case.
It must be so hard for you to be confronted by facts. Try
removing the sand from your head and look at the facts sometime.

How many women died in his care? If only one, has Alabama or
Mississippi revoked the licenses of any obstetrician who on just one
occasion delivered a woman of a healthy baby but lost her to
haemorraging?

The point is repeated malpractice, not deaths of women due to hemorrhage.
One does not necessarily imply the other.
