Man wants QR10 million from doctor in damages
A man has demanded QR 10 million in damages in a lawsuit who is claiming to have become impotent due to alleged negligence of a doctor.
The man has actually gone in appeal against the ruling of a lower criminal court that sentenced the doctor to a month in jail and fine of QR460,000 ($126,000).
The court ruled that the sentence be kept in suspension. This means that the doctor is to be jailed only if he repeats medical negligence within a specified timeframe.
The lawyer for the complainant has told the Criminal Court of Appeals in his plea that the doctor has walked away with light punishment for what was a serious negligence.
According to medical reports, the complainant has suffered multiple disabilities during a slew of surgical interventions for piles.
The doctor is a consultant surgeon at Al Khor Hospital, The Peninsula reports.
In March 2009, the complainant was brought to the hospital. He was shivering as he was had high fever and pain due to piles.
The daily said he needed immediate surgical intervention but the doctor, now the accused in the case, waited for six long days to perform the operation. The complainant's condition worsened and the bacteria spread, as a result of which he needed several operations.
One of a string of operations performed on him was for bowel diversion to let him pass stool.
In other surgical interventions, his right testicle was removed and the left one was re-positioned. The daily said this way his sex life was severely affected. [The Peninsula]
Well said Sense.
Lol Prize. QL isn't about providing help and answers to people who ask questions. QL is about pointless posting stupid comments, while attacking all the users to make sure they stop logging on. Years ago QL used to be the most visited site in Qatar, now it's almost dead because of certain users i e Sakaera & Wunae who spend all their time attacking and attacking and attacking and posting rubbish.
there should be no room for any less qualified medical staff in a country like qatar. Any negligence to patient will result into a permanent physical damaged or death.
wunae,The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them.
Do you log on to QL just to stalk MM on every forum? Don't you have anything better to do with your idle time.
I worry that you turned mad.
R2, That's why the doctor got fine.
wuna,stop staking Molten, ur comments r all idiotic, ql will be much peaceful without the cheapys like u & sakaera.
R2R, First u tell wunae a blind & then asking him to see is unfair.
Doctor is at fault, he spoiled a man's life.
Wunae,r u blind,can't u see before posting anything shit.Idiot, u fight 4 others without knowing properly.

The man did complain to the government, and the government took it to court and punished the doctor accordingly.
This man thinks the government is very wrong and wants millions of riyals, when the court verdict has already issued a decision.
I have faith that the government is doing a good job in the courts, and this man is just greedy and wants millions of riyals for nothing. If he really was deserving of so much money the court would have reached that decision originally.
Poor soul .......................................
Thanks admon for sharing this. And Abdul mukeet khan totally agree on this. Theres plenty of Doc's here who isnt even sure of what to be done in many case, plus they are super arrogant. I wish the governmnet let normal people to complain about such pathetic Doc's here
He is reasonable in asking for only 10 mil. Court should ensure such negligent doctors are taken to task.
There is huge dearth of qualified doctors here. If the country wants to improve its healthcare it has to bring or create quality home grown doctors not the dumb rejects of other countries.
