Abortionist Jasbir Ahluwalia has a long history of botching various surgical procedures;
— He was sued by a husband and wife who alleged that he caused severe and permanent brain damage to their child during delivery. At six years of age, the boy was determined to have the mental functioning of a 4-week-old. Ahluwalia settled the suit in 1989 for more than $1.3 million. In the course of the suit, lawyers for the couple raised questions about the quality of Dr. Ahluwalia’s medical training, much of which he received in Uganda.
— In March 1991, a Dallas woman sued him, accusing him of perforating her uterus during an abortion. As a result, surgeons had to remove her uterus. Also in 1991, another Dallas woman sued him. She, too, said he perforated her uterus during an abortion. Ahluwalia settled both suits in 1993.
— In 1995, he was sued by an Erath County woman on whom he had performed a hysterectomy. She alleged that he mistakenly blocked a ureter with stitches. So severe were the complications that, four months later, another surgeon had to remove her kidney. Had she known of Dr. Ahluwalia’s prior problems, patient Linda Runnels said recently, “I wouldn’t have used him for sure.” Her suit was settled.
Finally, in 1996, the Medical Board of Texas took action. It acted because Ahluwalia had lost his privileges at Harris Methodist Erath County Hospital. His privileges had been pulled because he “failed to adequately manage various high-risk pregnancies.” No mention was made of his previous lawsuits, and the discipline was minimal. Board members voted to require him to take 50 hours of continuing medical education and keep adequate patient records. And he was ordered to subscribe to the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Ahluwalia still practices gynecology in Stephenville.
