Ellen Curtis, who was then a nurse in the gynecology operating room of Boston City Hospital, said yesterday she recalled that there was no clock in the operating room and that the timer was missing.
During cross-examination, Newman a Flanagan, assistant district attorney uncovered possible discrepancies between Curtis's testimony yesterday and her statements before a grand jury in February, 1974.
Curtis said the discrepancies were caused by her uncertainty about which operation was in question at the time of the grand jury investigation. Since then, Curtis said, she had referred to hospital records to refresh her memory.
Curtis tesoned yesterday to a clear memory of a number of details about the operation, including some that corroborated Edelin's testimony and contradicted more of Gimenez-Jimeno's testimony.
Curtis said Edelin did not wait motionless with his hand inside the uterus as Gimenez-Jimeno testified, but instead had trouble removing the fetus and asked for another doctor's opinion.
