On the recordFebruary 10, 1995
Dr. Foster said: I have worked at George W. Hubbard Hospital. At Meharry Medical College, all of my patient records and all of the operative logs from the time I went to Meharry in 1973 until tonight have revealed that I was listed as the physician of record on 39 of those cases, in 38 years of practice, in 22 years at Meharry. Dr. Foster's statement on ``Nightline'' indicates he performed a grand total of 39 abortions in 38 years of medical practice, and all of those abortions were performed since 1973. But the Associated Press today reports that Dr. Foster performed an undetermined number of abortions prior to 1973, abortions that are not included in the 39 abortions he admitted on ``Nightline'' to having performed. The article quotes Dr. Calvin Dowe, general practitioner and then a colleague of Dr. Foster at John A. Andrew Hospital in Tuskegee, AL, with William Hill, Dr. Foster's uncle, as saying Dr. Foster performed abortions in Alabama during the period from 1965 to 1973.
