There was no miscarriage
In 2020, investigators brought an indictment in the case of Swaomir W., a well-known gynecologist in Radom, to court. As the public prosecutor’s office in Radom reported at the time, the gynecologist made an appointment with the patient for an abortion and charged PLN 4,000 for his performance.
However, the miscarriage did not happen. The woman reported the matter to the detective’s office. Immediately before the procedure, the investigator hired by the woman entered the doctor’s office, where there was also a patient and an anesthesiologist preparing for work.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office also accused the doctor of validating falsehoods in the medical records. And the gynecologist mentioned in the patient’s card that she came to him with pain, and at the same time he did not notice that the woman was pregnant.
