Emergency records
obtained by Operation Rescue, a pro-life organization that documents medical
emergencies at abortion businesses, include a transcript and recording of the 911 call. The nurse who spoke with the 911 dispatcher said that the patient
was drifting in and out of consciousness and was unable to get up. She also
said that the patient was weak, pale, and clammy.
Several of her statements directly contradicted one another, however. She told
the dispatcher that the woman had low blood sugar levels, but later she said
that they were high. She said that the patient's breathing was normal, but she
also said that her breathing was shallow.
“Asking a patient that cannot stand up to go to the hospital on her own is a
huge red flag. Add to that the contradictory information about the
woman’s condition, and it makes me wonder what these people may have been
hiding,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
Access Health Center was sued for causing the wrongful death of another
patient, Melissa L. Helm, on January 22, 2001. Additionally, the business was
found to have committed several health violations during
its most recent inspection
on June 18-19, 2019.
