Another Death I Hadn't Known About!

I often to through the Cemetery of Choice to see which cases lack a lot of detail and go searching for more. While looking for more information on the death of Nicey Washington, I found that another patient died about ten years later at the same clinic.

Her name was Lisa Marie Fusco, and she died on November 2, 2010 after an abortion performed at Ambulatory Surgery Center of Brooklyn.

Lisa went to Ambulatory Surgery Center on October 27, 2010 to begin a multi-day abortion with the insertion of laminaria to dilate her cervix. The practitioner also packed Lisa's vagina with gauze. Lisa returned the next day for the abortion. The allegations in the lawsuit are fairly vague, just noting that due diligence was not followed, the procedure performed on Lisa was contraindicated, and Lisa was not properly monitored during the procedure.

The lawsuit filed on behalf of Lisa's surviving child also named Dr. George McMillan, presumably the abortionist.

Do you have a copy of the lawsuit I could use?

Unfortunately no. There was just a mention in a news item that the family sued.
