Chicago doctor accused of abusing more than 300 women over decades, most of them Latinas. Attorneys allege the hospitals ignored the complaints because the patients were Hispanic and did not speak English.
The complaint is the latest chapter in the legal saga against Fabio Ortega, 77, who pleaded guilty in 2021 to sexually abusing two patients. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of a woman, alleges that staff members at NorthShore Medical Group and Swedish Covenant Hospital concealed complaints about the former doctor's behavior.
