8:34 am
that why am i you know, i was so much pain. why does you are so much? i don't know. i mean, to me was already right. what am i doing here? because i asked for help for my heard, why am i here? these women are still trying to understand what happened to them. all. they were held at the same immigration prison in georgia. and they were seen by the same doctor. how many other women, whether you think no one really same thing? i think it was not easy. estrogen gathered up in the put one to get him in. there is something not right here. lady took us as capital, you know, like okay, i'm almost done with this one next. you know, we're not, we're people with this or just somebody hear us out all me.
8:35 am
oh, it feels like the urban county detention center is far away from almost everything . we came to the rural town of facility, georgia, which is 3 hours south of atlanta to look into allegations of medical abuse. last december 14 women who were incarcerated. here filed a class action lawsuit against the prison, the doctor and immigration and customs enforcement or the complaint alleges that are going to college is that a local hospital subjected incarcerated women in his care to one necessary procedures without their consent. more than 30 women gates sworn testimony that they endured medical abuse from the dr. mckendra, i mean, think allowing us $700.00 and some women claim they faced retribution after they spoke out. several of the women described the doctor, us broth,
8:36 am
and some said they left their appointments, bleeding or in pain. could they get the money to be treated? my human body was around, i mean denies all the allegations and statements to the media just lawyer said, i mean all the st at his patients with the utmost care and respect ah my, the wake of the yeah. was one of dr. means patients, and she's the plaintiff and the losses. it's almost been a year, you know, still not back. i still have a lot of problems have last summer, my complained of the painful umbilical hernia and was taken to see doctor, i mean, he makes this paper, you know, because it's like a couple of us. so it's like a rush like signed here saying that you don't have a chance to read everything. she had
8:37 am
a virginal ultra sound and pap smear that left her in pain. i've had kids and i've had pap smears done and there was an a stand for us. so i asked them about my her name because that's the whole issue. that's the only reason i bring to go see this person that's i don't have nothing to do with hernias, you know, but you have a group of doctors who later reviewed my medical records, said doctor mean carried out multiple invasive procedures on her. but she says they were never fully explained to her one doctor who reviewed her records, concluded that the surgery was unnecessary and carried significant risk. i mean, no doubt. they wait 6 months to see the hormone stuff breakdown. the says, obvious, you seen me september, i was already having the surgery within the month he was already
8:38 am
and then after the surgery time went by and not they, they wouldn't even give me a follow up. i had asked for a follow up for follow up and you still don't know what had what happened exactly the procedure they did fairly. he gave me the answer the call. and he like, literally scrape most of my uterus, like i have a really thin layer of uterus. i don't know, it's a lot of questions that i don't have answers to. that's something i have to live for the rest of my life. like from the minute i piece together the various charts and looked at each woman's story, i realized that there was a pattern of inappropriate evaluation, inappropriate recommendations, and surprisingly repetitive claims for each patient, even though they were obviously very different people. dr. serra emerge line is an
8:39 am
obstetrician gynecologist, who reviewed the medical records of 5 women from ring county who saw doctor, i mean, it doesn't surprise me that the, the patient reports that the doctor was rough and it was painful. but if help us all just sound shouldn't be painful, shouldn't be paying uncomfortable, maybe not usually painful for every patient. he wrote, pelvic pain abnormal bleeding, and he had the same diagnosis, ovarian cysts, and large fibroids. the interesting thing is that normal functioning, reproductive age, women normally make cysts every month in their ovaries. so says their normal, none of the sonograms, that reports that i read ever indicated, assist that had a worry, some finding, either by size or by description. these were all reproductive age women, and unless they are really very sick, we will evaluate this over a period of several months and asked the patient to try various remedies.
8:40 am
frequently, surgery was recommended, almost immediately. why do you think he was recommending this extreme care that didn't seem to be necessary? well, i can't speak to his thinking, but we're looking at the charts and doing a little online research myself. i realize this was likely to be a financial thing. this physician was repeatedly recommending unnecessary tests and invasive procedures for which he would likely be paid and for which the patients were not likely to benefit. we try to find out how much money ice pain, doctor, i mean, or the hospital to treat the women. but so far they have not released those records . yeah. over the years, immigration detention has become a big business. we've arrived at urban county
8:41 am
detention center, the place where the women we spoke to were held nearly 80 percent that are arrested by ice and up in places like these there for profit prisons run by private companies. this one is run by la sal correction. hi sir. i've got more. i'm david all. this is the word and i'm a person david. have been trying to we interview, i'm a lucky person. not good, not that much windows. i'm not, i'm not gonna make it warden. paul declined to speak with us. instead, directing us to eyes declined to answer our questions, citing pending litigation as far back as 2018, an attorney for an incarcerated woman notified warden. paul that her client found an appointment with dr. mean so painful and dramatic that she was scared to see him
8:42 am
again. but allegations didn't become public until september of 2020 a nurse at the urban county detention center. testified in a federal whistleblower complaint that she witnessed a medical abuse and negligence, including the prison handling of covert 19 months earlier. women being held in the prison release. these videos, pleading for help me, my initial plan to speak was colvin. there's a tiny immigrant for and a lot it may is, we were not allowed. there was saying the code was not in the facility. the nurses complained included claims of a high rate of hysterectomies, but according to the urban county hospital, dr. mean has only performed to since 2017. the allegations now center on whether the gynecological procedures are necessary and of the women consented to that. when
8:43 am
did you 1st start noticing that there was something strange going on? where was sitting in the medical records room one day myself, my nurse, another nurse, and a supervisor. and the nurse that said that me a, is this all he do? everybody goes to him, get some procedure, and the supervisor rolls out a finger. that's all you do. he make an in mind. so hearing that and them coming to me, it was like, wow, don wooden has worked as a nurse for 11 years and worked at several different times at urban county detention center. she says she build close relationships with a number of the women she cared for. there they gave me their number to say, hey, i have a procedure done, can you check into it? so it's going to be in the system. it's going to be documented to say they have such and dine. so you go back, hey, you tube or you had a dnc, you go back and i didn't say the non looking at them like you're looking to rely
8:44 am
what just happened. what did i ms. me coming home and i have a 20 minute ride and i'm in tears like am i gonna have a job tomorrow and i will have a job tomorrow. what do i do? how do i handle this? and then it automatically clicks how your nerves, your caring for somebody. dawn says she was demoted from her job a couple of months before the whistleblower complaint because she objected to how the prison handle coven 1900. and she's asked and filing the complaint she haven't been called into work and has relied on unemployment benefits. last fall corrections did not respond to our list of questions or requests for an interview. it's an emotional burden to where i know life happens and it happens the earth and somebody most drains in ways. but i never thought that it will be to the point to where i will be at this unemployed place. i will be seeking help with the worth and
8:45 am
i will change it. i want to change it for anything. oh, our below the whistle a 1000 times over if i can and i say that because i have children and family rooms and was that i want somebody to look out for a whale. so the sacrifice is well worth the boy being $150.00? oh, $9.00. 0, canaan jacqueline registered um edith is back home in carrollton, georgia. but her time at the urban county detention center is still waiting on her . her mom took care of her 5 children during the 10 months she spent in prison. when i 1st went to think when one control is i'm can you also free fatal anthony, on vocal for like a half hour when

8:49 am
a sense that these women couldn't say no to getting treated or surgical procedures by the doctor? nobody was telling them about, you know, what was happening. obviously there was a language barrier. nobody made an effort to, you know, come back explanation about why was this procedure necessary job same proposal on it some where they don't the people aren't in the business office and when i get the dollar for oh, this isn't the 1st time that dr. amin had been accused of billing the government for unnecessary procedures. in 2013 state and federal agencies investigated, i mean the erwin county hospital and several other doctors over allegations of fraudulent billing. the allegations included standing orders from
8:50 am
a mean to perform ultrasounds on all pregnant patients, regardless of whether they needed them. the hospital and doctors settle the case in 2015 for more than half a $1000000.00 with no admission of guilt. ah, we sent multiple requests to dr. means lawyer to see if he would speak with us on camera, but we did not get a response. we're trying to track down, dr. mean, so i'm going to call his private practice. yeah, good morning, ma'am. do you know when he's going to be end of week every day? he's never there. i might stop by today or call back. thank you so much. we saw that to remain leaving his office and approached him in a nearby parking lot. we just really want to give you the opportunity to reply

8:52 am
the buck stops and they absolutely fell at this responsibility. instead of aging in the investigation. i actually was trying to cover its own track by reporting witnesses and survivors to medical abuse. so 6 women were already deported before members of congress and lawyers stepped in and were able to put a stop to the deportation me when i 1st had me navarro was one of the women who was deport. she was a patient of dr. means at urban county here and according to the lawsuit, diagnosed with says, following a medical exam and suggested surgery, we're on my home and i grade my entire life. i've never heard of it in my over
