NEW YORK, Feb 14 (LifeSiteNews) – Dr. Allan Zarkin, an Ob/Gyn hired on as medical director of Choices Women’s Medical Center, an abortuary in Queens, just weeks after being fired for carving his initials into a patient’s stomach, has settled with his carving victim out of court. The New York Times reported Saturday that Liana Gedz will receive $1.75 million in exchange for her dropping her claim against Beth Israel Medical Center where Zarkin assaulted her. On September 7 last year after a Caesarean section, Zarkin carved AZ into her stomach reportedly because “he thought he did such a beautiful job, he thought [that] he should sign it.”
Zarkin had worked part time for the abortuary prior to his dismissal from Beth Israel. The center’s director, Merle Hoffman, did not conduct a legally mandated inquiry on Zarkin. The medic has pleaded innocent to charges of assault for which he would receive 5-25 year in prison.
