Planned Parenthood didn’t report 911 call to state because hemorrhaging “not unusual”
Planned Parenthood Keystone had a novel excuse for failing to report the ambulance transfer of a patient to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, as required by law.
When DOH inspected Planned Parenthood Keystone’s Allentown abortion clinic on February 27, 2014, it was surprised to learn a patient had begun hemorrhaging after her abortion on March 15, 2013, and taken to the hospital by ambulance.
This was a surprising because DOH is supposed to get a report from any medical facility within 24 hours after such an occurrence, and it didn’t in this case.
Planned Parenthood’s excuse?
Its Patient Safety Officer and Associate Medical Director “determined that this event did not constitute a serious event or incident…. Abnormal bleeding after a surgical abortion is not unusual nor is it unanticipated,” quoting from the report.
The chart stated “the patient began with excessive bleeding with noticeable large clots” after not one but two suction abortions, because ”no products of conception were found” either time.
The bleeding continued even after the injection of a clotting medication (Methergine), which is when Planned Parenthood called 911.
If DOH didn’t realize Planned Parenthood’s misinterpretation of the law until this year, how many other botched abortions has Planned Parenthood Keystone covered up, not just in Allentown but others?
So Planned Parenthood’s standard of care is such that large clots and hemorrhaging are expected normal outcomes of a first trimester abortion?
Oh, and DOH’s deficiency report also found that Planned Parenthood violated HIPAA privacy laws by leaving patient files with names on them out in the open.

Not surprising but I hope people read between the lines. This patient should have had an ultrasound prior to her abortion to determine gestational length and rule out ectopic pregnancy. The fact that no baby was seen twice lets us know with absolute certainty this patient was either A) Not pregnant to begin with B) End of a miscarriage or C) Ectopic.
And why would you try to suction a 2nd time when there is nothing on the ultrasound? This is gross negligence. Not surprising coming from an affiliate that is documented as having employees, patients and their children inhale and walk on feces for days.
Great points, AL, thanks for providing additional insights!
“Abnormal bleeding after a surgical abortion is not unusual…” PP employees sound well versed in doublespeak. If something is abnormal, it is not the norm and ergo, it is not what usually happens. It is unusual.
abnormal bleeding is unusual when you see a doctor; but not when you visit a hired molester of women.
If someone asks a doctor to conduct a procedure it cannot be molestation.
When I choose to go to the dentist I’m not being molested am I.
Reality- I’m sure she was not referring to the procedure itself as molestation. She was referencing the many recent reports of sexual abuse in clinics, including an abortionist being arrested for molestation and one being arrested for raping a woman outside his practice.
(Who’s) Reality,
Megan’s correct. Don’t be dense, TS was referring to gem abortion providers, such as these, who were found guilty of molestng/fondling & raping patients and other women. How many more are out there that we don’t know about and/or who are still practicing medicine…

Due to a lack of oversight & resistance to clinic regulations & inspections, dirty abortion providers, such as the above & even Kermit Gosnell were able to continue their crimes for a number of years.
Ewww, I think reality needs to switch to a desk job, immediately.
That Planned Parenthood pic looks like it’s from Orange in CA.
Megan and Ladybug, truthseeker said ‘hired molester’. Who would hire themselves a molester?
Hm, 21 names over more than 30 years. Got a list of how many dentists have been found guilty of molestation in the same time period? How about gynecologists? People in other fields?
“Who would hire themselves a molester?”
Pro-choicers have hired molesters over 55 million times in the US alone since 1973. Even if you wanna say the women isn’t being molested she is still hiring someone to molest her baby in her womb and dismember her. It is physical and it is real and no masking under the pro-choice banner will ever hide that.
I guess you’ll need to vilify doctors who do caesarians then truthseeker.
And those internal ultra-sound thingies, gone too?
Perhaps the medical folk who sometimes ‘break womens waters’ to move things along.
Molesters, the lot of them!
“I guess you’ll need to vilify doctors who do caesarians then truthseeker. ”
Only if they are reaching into the woman’s womb to dismember the baby or snip her neck or stuff her baby in a plastic bag or put the baby in a soiled linen closet after they remove her from the womb.
“Perhaps the medical folk who sometimes ‘break womens waters’ to move things along. Molesters, the lot of them!”
Possibly, Albert Hodari used to have his assistants administer drugs to “move things along” and when the baby came out before the abortionist was there then they would stuff the baby in a plastic bag. Yes these types of people, the pro-choicers, are molesters.
mo·lest (m?-l?st?)
tr.v. mo·lest·ed, mo·lest·ing, mo·lests
1. To disturb, interfere with, or annoy. (banner wavers?)
2. To subject to unwanted or improper sexual activity.
Nothing to do with dismembering or snipping.
C-sections, water-breaking, internal ultrasounds, abortion. All in the same boat.
Reality,
Reading your posts is disturbing and annoying. It’s actually like being molested.
Then we are all molesters truthseeker. Makes the accusation rather moot now doesn’t it.
Good points Megan and Ladybug; It really is not a surprise to me though that many abortionists are also known sexual molesters.
‘Many’? With all of 21 in over 30 years I think you’ll find the appropriate term is ‘few’. You’ll find there are other fields where the use of ‘many’ might be more accurate.
Also known to sometimes be sexual molesters are dentists, doctors, plastic surgeons, school-teachers, youth group leaders…..
…EMTs who write disgusting comments and beg for attention…
Reality is incapable of addressing facts. This affiliate is duping patients in order to make money. If the patient’s ultrasound didn’t show a “fetus” twice in a row, and they didn’t see a tubal pregnancy and performed a suction aspiration anyway they were doing so for show. In that situation with a positive pregnancy test the patient was at the end of a miscarriage. And rather than refer her to an OB-GYN that possibly could take her insurance and treat her condition for a nominal copay they took $450+ dollars. This is not the first time PP has done this. Former workers all across the country report this dubious behavior all the time.
Hi AL,
Even women receiving prenatal care may have an ectopic go undiagnosed until symptoms appear. I don’t know how expert these folks would be at diagnosing an ectopic but I’m not placing any bets.
No products of conception should be a red flag that this patient may well have an ectopic and should be referred to the hospital ER immediately, especially if she is bleeding prior to the “abortion”. Post miscarriage there may be retained products of conception, not ectopics.
This little ruse to rip off women could cost a patient her life.
I am quite capable of addressing facts AllentownLifer, although in this instance I haven’t. I have been addressing the non-factual claims of certain other commenters.
Which fact would you have me address? The fact that we don’t really know what actually happened or why?
