Many women have filed and settled lawsuits against gynecologist Fabio Ortega and Swedish Covenant Health in Cook County Circuit Court.
Despite Ortega pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two patients, Chicago-based hospital groups, NorthShore and Swedish, continue to defend their institutions and Ortega from liability, claiming that their trusting female patients are either confused or lying; or, if the sexual assaults did happen, the hospitals are not responsible for Ortega’s abuses. One woman alleges that Ortega sexually assaulted her at Swedish when she was just 14 years old.
