re: Pregant and not planning an abortion? The anti-womenists are after you, too.

You would know better than I would so I won't be offended if you correct me, but this sounds like malpractice. How hard is it to administer a pregnancy test before administering Depo? That sounds like it could be extremely dangerous for the patient.

Yea thats a big no-no. But this story just confuses me. If the pt was on depo and, apparently, the doctor didn't do a pregnancy test or know she was pregnant, what medical records did they look at that told them the miscarriage had to be b/w 11-15 wks? Was it a UPS from another facility? Maybe a first trimester dating U/S, but those records should be easy to find and pts know when they have had U/S showing a damn baby in their uterus. I guess the pt's self reported LMP is also possible, but that would open up a whole other can of worms (she had to have known she was already pregnant or at least a very high chance she was pregnant). This just sounds like a total cluster with inconsistencies throughout.
