Doctor jailed in Hyannis abortion death freed | CapeCodOnline.com: With his jail sentence complete, Rapin Osathanondh now must complete nine months of home confinement. He must wear an electronic monitoring device and cannot leave his house except in emergencies or for a pre-approved medical appointment. He cannot practice medicine, teach anything connected to medical science, or contact the Smith family. He also cannot comment on the case on any Internet social networking site.
In September, Osathanondh settled a civil suit, agreeing to pay the victim's parents, Tom and Eileen Smith, $2 million. According to documents filed in the civil suit, Osathanondh failed to monitor Smith after she underwent her abortion. Additionally, the suit documents state neither Osathanondh nor his assistant had CPR certifications, nor did they call 911 after attempts to revive Smith failed.
The civil suit documents also say that when the state Board of Registration in Medicine began an investigation of Smith's death, Osathanondh falsified CPR certification cards, bought new equipment and changed the configuration of his Hyannis office to make it appear that a defibrillator and oxygen were within easy access of where he performed medical procedures.
