Huffmeyer
Court Document:
Huffmeyer Race Discrimination Complaint
Excerpt:
- At the end of August 2017, PPGC assigned a new supervisor to oversee Ms. Huffmeyer’s performance . . . Following that appointment, Ms. Huffmeyer’s workplace quickly turned into a living nightmare. Not only did [the new supervisor] persistently belittle Ms. Huffmeyer; she also resorted to treating her so badly that her work environment quickly became sufficiently hostile to start causing her health to deteriorate, all because of Ms. Huffmeyer’s race and national origin. Among other health issues, Ms. Huffmeyer developed daily headaches and fever blisters . . .
- Not only did [the supervisor] abuse Ms. Huffmeyer without cause as to her work; she also made inappropriate comments about her national origin. [She] once asked Ms.Huffmeyer how “close” she was to Ms. . . . Nguyen (the Director of the PPGC Center for Choice), just because both Ms. Huffmeyer and Ms. Nguyen were Vietnamese. Essentially, [she] assumed that two unrelated people would immediately form a clique in their workplace, just because they both happen to be of Vietnamese origin. Ms. Huffmeyer told Ms. [her] that she did not know Ms. Nguyen well at all. Ms. Farrell responded by stating that she did not trust Ms. Nguyen and that Ms. Huffmeyer should not trust her either. When Ms. Huffmeyer tried to reassure [her] that her only goal was to make sure she looked good, [she] dismissed her, saying, “I’m not sure about that! Birds of a feather…!” . . .
- Instead of seeing her working conditions improve, Ms. Huffmeyer was unceremoniously terminated, just over three months after the complaint was filed, without any respect for the ten years of impeccable service she delivered to the Company.

Court Document:
TX Houston Gonzalez 2011 Malpractice Complaint
Excerpt:
9. Plaintiff . . . was treated by Defendant Planned Parenthood on May 19, 2009. During this visit, staff . . . prescribed the intrauterine contraceptive device manufactured by Defendant Bayer, Mirena. Staff of Planned Parenthood implanted this device . . . Over the next several months, Ms. Gonzalez developed symptoms such as rashes, hair loss, rapid weight loss, weakness, muscle deterioration, and chronic pain. She returned to Planned Parenthood, but the staff failed to diagnose the cause of such symptoms and failed to remove the Merena device. On December 3, the Merena device was removed. In late December, Ms. Gonzalez was again hospitalized, and later diagnosed with systemic lupus, caused by the product and/or the implantation process.
