Case 1: Cullen
Docket Number: SUCV2012-03299
Handwritten by plaintiff on Civil Case Cover Sheet
Excerpt:
FACTS:
In August of 2012, I . . . received a suction abortion at Planned Parenthood. 3 hours after leaving the clinic I was taken by ambulance to Mass General Hospital in Boston. I was told the abortion had been done wrong. I had suffered extreme blood loss which had caused me to black out when I left the clinic. Due to losing consciousness after the abortion I fainted hit my head 2 times once in the front breaking 2 of my teeth and splitting by chin open. I needed 4 stiches in my chin which left a life-long permanent scar. I suffered a concussion, sprained neck, which has caused me to miss many days of work. I suffered from PTSD which has prevented me from going to Boston where the incident happened. I am permanently physically + mentally damaged due to this malpractice.
