PETALING JAYA: Two obstetrics specialists landed in trouble after leaving a critically bleeding patient, who subsequently died, just to go for a drink. The High Court here ordered the maternity centre to pay RM6mil to the deceased's family.
Judge Norliza Othman delivered the decision after finding Dr M Shanmugam, Dr A Ravi, and nurses Izaniey Nataliah Jukimin, Nur Aida Mat Isa, and Nessy Yasah guilty of medical negligence, which resulted in the patient’s death while under their care.
