Practitioner Loses License, Killed Woman in Failed AbortionThe abortionist who killed
Ying Chen -- a death ruled a homicide by the LA County Coroner -- has surrendered his license. Again.
There are many parallels to the current outrage over seedy abortionist
Kermit Gosnell:
Both operated in facilities that were not abortion-focused. Rutland performed Ying's abortion in an acupuncture clinic; Gosnell performed the fatal abortion on Karnamaya Mongar in a multipurpose facility that was also a local pill mill.
Both facilities were described as filthy and ill-equipped.
Both Ying and Karnamaya were overdosed on anesthesia.
Both Rutland and Gosnell delayed unnecessarily before calling 911.
Both doctors had patient deaths that were ruled homicide by the Medical Examiner (in Gosnell's case, the dead patient was Semika Shaw)
Both doctors severed babies' spinal columns, though Rutland did this by accident with forceps during a delivery, while Gosnell did it on purpose after delivery.
In both cases, failures by the medical board allowed the patient deaths -- in Rutland's case, by giving him back his license; in Gosnell's case, by failing to take his license in the first place.
Rutland has voluntarily surrendered his license, a la Steven Chase Brigham, in order to halt the investigation against him. I'm guessing he figures he can wait for the outrage to blow over, then get his license back.
