“I watched him step out of his car. I was shocked by his condition. He was dazed, confused, and he couldn't walk without help from his cane and caretaker, his right arm was in a full cast, and clinic staff met him at the door with a wheelchair. I’ve encountered him several times in the last 3 years and this was the worst condition I've seen him in yet.” reported Kristin Turner, the regional organizer for The Survivors DC.
On Monday morning, August 18th, members of The Survivors, a pro-life activist group, submitted a 14 page complaint to the D.C. Board of Medicine. The report includes documentation of Dr. Santangelo’s malpractice history, eyewitness testimony, and the newly released video footage. The group demanded the Board act immediately to suspend his license. This report underscores the urgency of the situation and warns that continued inaction could cost more women their lives and local agencies may be found negligent and liable for inaction.
Tim Clement, Director of The Survivors stated, “Should anyone receive subpar care at Washington Surgi-Clinic after the filing of this complaint and concern, it would be both negligent and legitimate medical malpractice by Dr. Santangelo and all staff currently employed at Washington Surgi-Clinic. Moreover, should any outside entities such as NARAL’s “abortion finder chatbot” refer someone to Washington Surgi-Clinic after the filing of this complaint, it would be both misconduct and irresponsible of the referring agency, opening them to liability.”
