Share on FacebookHealth Care Clinic in Saginaw, Michigan, was fined for improper disposal of medical waste, including fetal remains. A woman reported finding open containers labled as containing “products of conception.” She saw pieces of feteuses, including a hand and fragments of bone, cartilage, muscle, lung, and liver stuck to the bottom of a container thrown away by the facility in December of 1991. An inspection found that the clinic had a “commercial waste grinder.”

Dr. Ismail Elguindi got in trouble with the medical board when fetal parts were found in a trash container outside his clinic on April 8, 1989. Autopsy reports on the fetuses say:
“FETUS #1: Parts of a fetus of indeterminate sex include a skull cap, both arms total with scapula intact, the entire vertebral column with a portion of rib cage attached, the pelvic girdle, the left femur, and both lower legs with feet attached. A kidney, the tongue, and one eye was also retrieved. Gestational age was estimated at 4 months, perhaps very slightly greater, estimated on length of long bones. Measurements are as follows: femur 28 mm. …foot length 18 mm. … hand length 15 mm. The tissue was evidently fresh from a viable abortion within hours. FETUS
#2: A beheaded male fetus of an estimated 7-8 weeks gestation. The length of the fetus from shoulder to rump is estimated at 2.2 cm… The arms and scapula girdle was traumatically detached and retrieved in a separate piece. Again the tissue is fresh from a viable and very recent abortion.”
The abortion of Fetus #1 outside a properly licensed facility constituted a felony. Elguindi was prosecuted for this felony. He said that the had once flushed fetal remains, but later conracted with a company to dispose of boxed fetal remains. The scandal cost Elguindi a $10,000 fine by the medical board, along with the loss of his medical license.

Share on FacebookHarold Hoke was investigated for dumping fetuses and medical waste at Colwick Towers dumpster summer of 1992. Hoke claimed that his Hallmark Clinic sent such material out through a disposal firm, but the firm’s records showed no materials received from Hoke for 2 months.
“On August 12 and August 22, a Charlotte Observer reporter saw a considerable amount of fetal tissue removed from the dumpster adjacent to the clinic. The remains, deposited in 10 to 15 large plastic trash bags, included readily identifiable body parts. Among them were a left forearm and hand, a left leg and foot, a right forearm and hand, part of a right foot, and a spinal column and rib cage. In several cases the remains had been dumped in trash bags along with ordinary garbage: coffee grounds, cigarette butts and remnants of chicken dinners.”
Hoke was quoted as responding,
“I don’t care what you saw. If you saw a little green monster there, somebody else put it there.”
Such dumping would be in violation of state law requiring certain packaging and incineration of such materials.

“perfectly formed hands and feet of a 13-week old baby, and the complete body, in pieces, of a 17-week old baby. Everything except one foot was there: the rib cage, sexual organs, head, fingernails and toenails.”
