Australian Anaesthetist Suspected Of Infecting Women Patients With Hepatitis C
The Department of Human Services (DHS) had ordered an investigation in February this year after 12 women who underwent procedures at the surgery were found to have contracted hepatitis C. The Croydon unit is Victoria's only late-term abortion clinic. All those who had come into contact with the anesthetist were told to go for screening.
Eventually the department announced that of the 1800 women screened 58 tested positive to hepatitis C. Thirty-five of the women had genetic links to Dr Peters' strain of the disease.
Law firm Slater and Gordon is representing at least 30 hepatitis C infected women who are demanding compensation from the clinic, Dr Peters and possibly the Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria (MPBV) for allowing him to practise unsupervised.
Dr Peters, a widower and father of two teenage children, has a history of drug abuse and received a suspended jail sentence in 1996 for writing around 100 stolen pethidine prescriptions for himself and his late wife Julia.
Police have not spoken to Dr Peters yet, and he maintains he did not know he carried the infection. Those close to Dr Peters say that he feels like a fugitive, even though he has not been charged and has not yet been required to speak with detectives.

The finest practitioners in the medical profession will never become abortionists for the very good reason that there will always be deep-seated shame and instinctive ineradicable repugnance at the use of force to penetrate a mother's womb and intentionally kill a new life being protected and nurtured therein.
Abortion remains a questionable psuedo-medical procedure that harms both the mother and her child.
The Marie Stopes late term abortion clinic should have been closed down immediately this breach in infection control procedures came to light.
It is not surprising that a so-called health facility that performs late-term abortion attracts this unscrupulous kind of doctor. Any doctor that can participate in the intentional killing of children just before they are ready to be born is certainly capable of other abberant and appalling behaviour.
The dregs of the medical profession continue to apostasize the foundation principle of good medicine-Do no harm. They refuse to acknowledge the truth that they have a duty of care to two patients, the mother and her unborn child at risk of abortion. Even at the request of the mother, genuine doctors will do no deliberate lethal harm to any child before or after birth.
Abortion will always remain an abusive psuedo-medical procedure. Genuine medicine does no harm to a mother or her unborn child who both have an equal and inalienable right to legal protection before as well as after birth, as recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
