Whistleblower complaint alleges widespread abuse on migrant detainees
By Rafael Bernal - 09/15/20 12:07 PM EDT
A whistleblower report filed Monday with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges widespread medical malpractice at a Georgia immigration detention center.
The malpractice allegations include accusations against the Irwin County Detention Center (ICDC) of subpar COVID treatment — including denial of testing and treatment — and "red flags regarding the rate at which hysterectomies are performed on immigrant women."
The report, filed by four human rights advocacy groups, is based on unnamed detainee accounts and information provided by Dawn Wooten, an ICDC nurse turned protected whistleblower.
"[Monday], we filed an [Office of Inspector General] complaint that includes jarring information regarding the lack of medical care occurring inside Irwin County Detention Center including medical staff deliberately shredding medical request forms from detained immigrants without looking at them, medical staff falsifying records, denial of COVID-19 testing for detained immigrants, and very concerning accounts from detained immigrants and a protected whistleblower regarding hysterectomies," said Priyanka Bhatt, a staff attorney with Project South, one of the groups that filed the report.

I was wondering how the rat media would respond to Trumps Hispanic outreach. “Unnamed detainee accounts†lol. It was pretty easy to assume they’d opt for the usual anonymous racial sliming.

Yeah, why? A Hysterectomy is considered "major surgery."
-
ILLEGALS.....NEED TO STOP CRASHING OUR BORDERS.....then no problem. I believe this is a bogus, story.
-
Process is FUD. False accusations create process as efficiently as true ones. I'll take this as Dem September-October election shtick until there is evidence to prove otherwise.

A rate of hysterectomies that is higher than normal does not surprise me in the least. I know an OB-gyn who volunteers every year with a faith based group of medical personnel in central America. It's basically one hysterectomy after another. They get poor women who have never had healthcare walking three days each way to get there with problems like a prolapsed uterus that is hanging almost halfway to their knees and other bad problems. I imagine these women in detention also have never had healthcare with problems building up through the years because they have never been able to do anything about it, making the rate of this surgery higher than normal.

Thanks for that explanation, I can imagine the prolapse issue (total ick factor). Some of these women aren't exactly spring chickens. These emergency procedures are likely complicated by morbid obesity.
