Background
1. The Plaintiff in this case initiated a claim for medical negligence
against 19 Defendants who comprised of the Government of
Malaysia and the
18 medical officers attached to the Government
Hospital.
2. As a result of the medical negligence the Plaintiff an infant girl
suffered a spinal cord injury leaving her as a tetraplegic and
paralyzed from neck downwards since birth on 12/5/2020. The
Plaintiff is at the moment dependent on a ventilator and also she
has tracheostomy attached to her
3. The 1st Defendant the Government of Malaysia admitted liability on
26/7/2022 after which the Plaintiff withdrew all claims against the 2nd
to 19 the Defendant.
4. The trial proceeded for assessment of damages and lasted for 2
days whereby the Plaintiff called 2 witnesses i.e. the mother of the
Plaintiff (SP 2) and an expert witness Dr Kavitha (SP1). The 1st
Defendant called an expert witness Mohaneswari d/o Sandrajagran
(SD1). Something unusual. I think they probably refused to show the parents any CCTV or provide any details of who performed it. Or else why need to sue all of them? And then gomen just admitted being wrong then PL withdrew all claims against the 18 fellows. If full trial will need to release all the records, cctvs etc...
well from what you stated there
looks like a district hospital with only 18 MOs and probably no pakar hospital
most of the time only doctor directly involved is liable
all the other 18 fellows probably just in vicinity or the same department or even same hospital
shouldnt pukul all sama rata.
also there's hardly any cctv of lscs, its not like doing scope
