Death of Dotson patient

Abortionist Christopher Dotson was given eight years medical board probation for gross negligence and incompetence in causing the death of a patient identified as "RJI" on February 3, 1992. The board said that Dotson "was grossly negligent in the care and treatment of RJI." He failed to take an adequate exam, failed to classify her as a high risk pregnancy, failed to heed the risk of severe bleeding, failed to have appropriate equipment for monitoring, and failed to transfuse her in a timely way, having left the room while she was still bleeding. Dotson had also been investigated in 1993 after Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital of Los Angeles had reported him for being negligent in the treatment of six women.

I have been unable to determine what sort of care Dotson was providing, or supposed to be providing, to RJI. I learned of this woman's death when researching the death of Oriane Shevin, who died after getting RU-486 at a National Abortion Federation facility that employed Dotson. The coroner‘s office was not able to deterime if a physician saw or examined her at the abortion facility. Both Dotson and Josepha Seletz, M.D. are associated with the facility.

Margaret Davis died of sickle cell crisis after an abortion performed by Dotson on July 25, 1971. Dotson had also worked at San Vicente Hospital, a notorious abortion mill that was bought out by Family Planning Associates Medical Group. San Vicente was where Sara Lint, Natalie Meyers, Joyce Ortenzio, Laniece Dorsey, and Mary Pena underwent their fatal abortions.
