Indian-born Dr Jayant Patel, who is facing a total of 14 criminal charges, including three of manslaughter during his term as director of surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland, Australia, has been described in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court as "erratic" who "had outdated medical knowledge". Patel has also been charged with committing grievous bodily harm and fraud relating to his time as the hospital's director of surgery between 2003 and 2005.
An anaesthesist at the Hospital told the Court yesterday that Patel, the 58-year-old, who is a US citizen and had fled to the USA, but has returned to Australia to face trial, performed certain operations effectively but didn't cope when things went wrong.
