Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health
- Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health
Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health (CRASH), at the time the largest freestanding abortion clinic in the world, opened in New York City after New York legalized abortion in 1970. It was run by Bernard Nathanson. Nathanson described his successful efforts to keep CRASH from being shut down by health officials in his book, "Aborting America".["Aborting America", Bernard Nathanson, Pinnacle Books, 1981] ]However, in 1988 CRASH was closed by the New York City health department stemming from a patient death and licensing issues. Among other findings, the inspectors discovered that the deceased patient's post-operative note, describing her as "pink, responsive, alert," had been entered into the chart before surgery had been initiated.[New York Health Department Order No. 83383136, Case No. 11097] ]Other shortcomings were similar to those Nathanson had described correcting during his own tenure, for example, ill-lit operating rooms and generally dirty conditions.
CRASH was also found to have no documentation verifying the credentials or qualifications of medical director David Gluck
There was no evidence at the time of the investigation, which took place two weeks after the patient death, that Gluck had reviewed her chart, or the charts of 18 other patients identified as having suffered complications.
