This is very sad for me, being pregnant and living in the area. It would amaze people to know that in a metropolis the size of Los Angeles there are not many birth center options.

As some of you have heard, on March 14, 2007, agents from the California Medical Board and the Los Angeles County Sheriffs department stormed into our office to serve a search warrant and arrest Marcia for practicing medicine without a license. |

Respondent shall immediately cease and suspend practice as a midwife pending a noticed hearing that shall take place on March 20, 2007 1:30 pm at the Office of Administrative Hearings, 320 West Fourth Street,Suite 620, Los Angeles, California. Respondent shall not provide patient care pending the noticed hearing but may attend to strictly administrative functions of her practice." It says on the order NO patient care at all - so they are technically OK for arresting her for being there in a non administrative capacity. ( not saying it's right, but " At no time was she told that she was not allowed to be on the premises, to be in contact with her patients or to provide non-medical support care." is technically probably covered under this line of the order) |
