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.
