Reply #59: We had the same situation at PP of CT when I worked there.

I guess this is getting to be one of the antichoicer's tactics. Luckily for us, our state AG, Dick Blumenthal, is a big friend of PPCT and everything was worked out. As I recall, there was further training of staff on this, which is what should happen. Clinical staffers are so incredibly patient advocates that they want to do anything to help. They don't make a lot of money and they are amazingly hard working and empathetic.

However, state law is state law. If I were a staffer I would have gone to my supervisor and discussed the situation vis a vis the law. In both our situation and the one in CA there was no actual abuse taking place, which is probably why we had ours resolved through our direct contact with the AG's office.
