Ok has anyone asked the obvious but important questions yet.
1) Is this 1 facility or across multiple ones?
2) People in this thread said everyone this doctor sees seems to get a hysterectomy has anyone considered the issue is The Doctor?
I'm assuming by everyone they also mean people outside the camp who see him.
3) Is he a specialise in hysterectomies?
There need to be more investigation here rather than jumping to conclusions of mass government backed sterlisation based on 5 cases all linked to 1 doctor.
It's possible he's a specialist so gets called in to examine women when some-thing has already been found or suspected and he confirms it and does the operation
It's possible (like we had in the UK with a Breast surgeon) he's profiteering here and with the US system being more profit driven than the UK one that would be more possible. Doc claims they need a hysterectomy knowing he'll get hired to do the surgery most likely and then gets to charge old Uncle Sam a nice bit of money for his services even if they weren't actually required. In the UK it took years for them to discover and get the Doctor who did this and the UK has more checks and balances in place supposedly. Thing is no-one at ICE might have the knowledge to challenge his claims, he's the Doctor they wouldn't deliberately put people through unnecessary surgery for profit right? He's a trustworthy expert right?
We cannot possibly know the answers of how widespread this was until we have a congressional investigation. Right now, we only have the information provided by the Whistelblower nurse and likely the statements provided to investigators for the law firm by the detainees.
The physician in question would not have been able to act alone according to what the detainees have stated the nurses and those transporting them told them. From what was stated he was a gynecologist. However even if his specialty was hysterectomies, every patient who sees a specialist would not be determined to need one. For example, when you see a surgeon who specializes in gallbladder removal, he is only supposed to remove gallbladders in patients that he can show they actually need to have this done otherwise that is medical malpractice. He doesn't remove organs from every patient that comes to see him. He would be jailed and held criminally negligent and lose his license to practice medicine if he did that.
If this physician cannot prove that these were medically necessary, they were illegal and he should be criminally liable. In addition since he was doing this while these women were in US custody, the US government would also owe them financial compensation for allowing this to happen to them while is US custody. The US was responsible for signing off on this as well as providing transport and security that made it so they could not even flee the hospital while undergoing and recovering from these procedures at minimum. The women being in US custody may have not even been at liberty to refuse to comply. US officials may also be held criminally responsible as well depending on the results of the investigation. The investigation has not yet even been initiated, as they have only just now received the whistle blower complaint.
