| Description | A receptionist has been charged with injecting abortion-inducing drugs into three patients, apparently unbeknownst to the obstetrician for whom she was working, authorities said Tuesday.
Liza Berdiel, 24, of Lakewood, an employee of Pleasant Woman's Pavilion, was charged with three counts of unlicensed practice of medicine for performing abortions without a license, authorities said.
Berdiel also was charged with three counts of theft by deception for accepting $380 apiece for the procedures Nov. 22, Dec. 28 and Dec. 29. In addition, she was charged with theft and forgery for allegedly stealing a prescription pad and writing a prescription for one of the patients, authorities said.
The woman, who was arrested Thursday and released on her own recognizance, was working for Dr. Flavius Thompson and performed the abortions after work hours or at times when he was not in the office, according to Lt. Jeff Harper, a spokesman for Ocean County Prosecutor Thomas F. Kelaher. |
