Dr. Hong-An Jan, MD, a California OB-GYN, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after two-day-old Charles Wang died after a circumcision procedure in which he received an injection of a synthetic opioid. The Orange County coroner said the cause of death was "bronchopneumonia due to acute Demerol intoxication".[1]
In addition to the criminal charge, the Wang family is seeking damages in civil court from Dr. Jan for wrongful death, medical malpractice and fraud.[1]
