Abortionist Mi Kim Proves Planned Parenthood Wrong

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri has been complaining of a new law that requires a clinic that performs abortions to be licensed as an Ambulatory Surgical Center.  Here is a story that proves why this is necessary.

Abortionist Mi Kim troubles started December 18, 1998 when she received a notice from the Virginia Department of Health.  On May 17, 1997 a patient went to her for an abortion.  Mi Kim told this patient that she was 8 weeks pregnant.  She started to perform this abortion based on her findings of gestational age.  Well, long story short, after problems started Mi Kim did another examination and said that the patient was 24-26 weeks pregnant.  The patient was told to go to the hospital and Mi Kim met her there.  Nurses encouraged her to do an ultra sound to determine the correct gestational age.  She ordered a limited ultra sound be done.  It was then determined that the patient was actually 26 4/7 weeks pregnant.  The patient had to undergo a C-section to deliver her stillborn baby.  (Still born because the abortion attempt ruptured the amniotic sac)

Let’s just list the problems that Mi Kim has had since then. From an April 11, 2007 court order:

1. March 6 2005 she misrepresented her practice as a licensed outpatient surgical and gynecological center. 
2. She was found to keep inadequate controlled substance records.
3. Records on 13 patients had her, not the person administering the anesthetic, informing patients about the anesthetic and no information on who actually administer it.  In 2 other patients records the anesthesia informed consent forms did not have a physicians signature.
4. On February 6, 2006 and May 23, 2006 a Department of Health Professions (DHP) investigator found the medical records to be incomplete and did not contain adequate progress notes. 
 -  On 16 patients who underwent abortions the records did not show information on a follow up exam or the information provided was inadequate.  Also, she did not sign that she had reviewed the patients’ medical history before performing the abortion.
 -  Improper documentation for a patient receiving the controlled substance Vicoden.
 -  On December 19 and December 27, 2005 there is no record of a physical examination being done for a patient complaining of spotting and a patient complaining of a yeast infection.
 -  Patient History was not obtained prior to examination for painful urination.
5. She did not provide reasonable or adequate care to her patients subjecting them to potential injury or harm.
 -  She advised the DHP that it was not her practice to do a follow up exam if the pregnancy test was negative and no specific complaints were made, instead the medical assistant did the exams.
 -  She did not examine a patient May 31, 2005 on her follow-up exam after an abortion even though the patient had vaginal discharge and itching.
6. January 9, 2006 there was no documentation of a procedure performed on the anesthetic log nor was there a physician supervising the Certified Register Nurse Anesthetic (CRNA) while she administered the anesthesia.  She did not maintain a log of surgical procedures that were done in her office by her or by another physician.  She did not have the CRNA or the physician performing the procedure sign the log.

Now, some of you may be saying that the lack documentations and signatures doesn’t mean she was a bad doctor right?  Well, the reason she is cited with these is because on April 5, 2005 she was COURT ORDERED to maintain all these logs and COURT ORDERED to have signatures.  She was also found incompetent to be the physician in charge of the CRNA because she was found incapable to do so.  All of this happened because a patient of hers died on November 16 2002.  The patient died because:

1. She did not order the appropriate laboratory studies nor did she document a history or physical examination
2. She failed to properly administer Versed - a short acting benzodiazepeine central nervous system depressant used for sedation.  She used the Versed as a sedation and pain killer because she said the Versed put the patient under enough that the patient wouldn’t remember the pain.  Because of this the court determined that her judgment and knowledge was inadequate to supervise a CRNA during an IV conscious sedation.
3. The patients pulse oximetry showed a reading of 70% yet she still determined that the patient had a pulse.  Without checking for breathing she ordered her staff to administer oxygen by a mask and call 911.  She administered a reversal agent for the Versed but failed to notice that the patient was in cardiac arrest; she made no attempts at CPR.
4.  At the time of this procedure she was not certified in advanced cardiopulmonary life support or competent to perform an intubations.  No one in her office was qualified to perform intubations nor did they know how to use the equipment on the crash cart.
5. She failed to document an operative report for this procedure.

If Mi Kim’s practice was regulated by the state, women would not have had to suffer like this.  This is what Missouri is trying to protect women from.  Planned Parenthood should be supporting this, not threatening legal action towards the state.  This is just more proof that Planned Parenthood cares more about money going into their pockets than the well being of women.

Why I expect more from them is beyond me.  If you think about it, an abortionist is considered successful when only 50% of their patients live.
