Abortionist Bolivar M. Escobedo has had at least a dozen major malpractice suits filed against him.
Substantiated allegations included negligently performing abortions, misuse and mishandling of controlled drugs, ingesting controlled substances from his supplies without prescription, operating abortion clinic without a license, performing surgery without adequate equipment or blood supply to handle potential complications such as seizures, bleeding, anaphylactic shock, respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest, fraud, and signing insurance forms when he did not perform procedures.
Escobedo was investigated by the State regarding allegations of “negligence, gross neglect, misconduct and violation of state laws that require abortion clinics to be licensed and physicians who perform abortions to secure hospital privileges in case complications occur.” State inspections found pre-signed prescription forms, four containing patient names, evidently intended to allow staff to write prescriptions including prescriptions for controlled substances in Escobedo’s absence.
