Taipei Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Friday confirmed the report that a hysteroscopy conducted by one of its physicians had led to a premature birth because proper procedures were not followed. The botched hysteroscopy was one of the accusations in an internally recirculated letter that criticized the hospital for "industrializing" hysteroscopy, convincing patients to take the test for profits, adding that nine of ten gynecology patients have been given hysteroscopy at the hospital. During the procedure, the employee gave birth of an unknown-of 23-week baby. The hospital admitted that a patient had a premature birth after hysteroscopy because the gynecologist took the patient's word that she had been taking contraception pills and did not conduct pregnancy test before the procedure as required. The gynecologist has been suspended due to the incident, the hospital said.
