The Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners has suspended<\/a>\u00a0a Louisiana abortionist for practicing medicine without an appropriate license — again.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kevin Govan Work\u2019s medical license has been suspended multiple times in the past. Most recently, he had been illicitly working at two of the handful of women\u2019s health centers in the state that commit abortions. His practicing in an OB\/GYN facility is in violation of his terms of his most recent probation, which includes a limitation to practice medicine only in the area of \u201cwound care.\u201d As indicated in\u00a0<\/span>a 2017 request for reinstatement of his license and probationary filing<\/a>, Dr. Work told the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners he was unable to unable to fulfill the board\u2019s requirements from the previous year\u2019s Interim Consent Order, which included successful passage of the Board Certification Exam in Obstetrics and Gynecology.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Child porn, sexual assault, molestation among crimes of these abortionists<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the 2017 probationary filing included a stipulation from the board that he not be a solo practitioner. However, according to a letter<\/a> from Louisiana Right to Life to the State Medical Examiner\u2019s office, Dr. Work has been practicing alone at Delta Women\u2019s Clinic in Baton Rouge and Women\u2019s Healthcare Center in New Orleans since January 2019. The notice for summary suspension of medical license was dated February 26, 2019.<\/p>\n

Dr. Work has had several disciplinary actions<\/a>, including suspensions and probations on his license beginning first in 2009, and then again in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. According to Louisiana Right to Life<\/a>, these include violations such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Allowing for his electronic signature to be used for treatment of patients he did not see;<\/em>
\n\u2022 Allowing other medical personnel to treat patients without his supervision;<\/em>
\n\u2022 Allowing unlicensed personnel to evaluate his patients and provide prenatal care;<\/em>
\n\u2022 Providing false sworn information to the board concerning his surgical operations at Midtown Medical and neglecting to make operative notes of these procedures;<\/em>
\n\u2022 Failing to document controlled substances prescriptions;<\/em><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood lists Dr. Work in its \u201cCommunity Resource Guide to Pregnancy Health and Services<\/a>\u201d as a provider of \u201cPrenatal OB\/GYN care. High risk pregnancies. Fertility treatments and inseminations.\u201d The file is dated 2013, shortly after Dr. Work\u2019s first reinstatement on the heels of probation for making an \u201cunwelcome and inappropriate sexual comment to a nurse,\u201d and for six instances of failing to present to the delivery ward in a timely manner. The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services has an active link<\/a> to this file on its website, accessed February 27, 2019.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked and is currently reviewing<\/a> a lower court ruling on a Louisiana law that would require abortionists to have admitting privileges at local hospitals.<\/p>\n
