IntroductionJayant Mukundray Patel:Born on April 10, 1950A surgeon at Bundaberg Base

Hospital in Queensland, Australia In 2005 Patel was blamed for an uncivilized act

while working in Bundaberg Base Hospital

==========================================

Contd.was accused of showing incompetence at work and

on June 2010was condemned and announced as a criminal on

account of murdering three innocent people and another for agonizing harm to a patient

============================================

BackgroundPatel was employed by Queensland Health which is a

government department of health, under an "area of need program”

Patel in 2003 was promoted to the post of Director of Surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital without checking his prior qualifications or credentials

he was assigned even though he had no expert knowledge

============================================

Contd.was the reason which explained his incompetence as

he was described by the staff as "antiquated" and "sloppy".

nurses were reported to have said that whenever Patel was in the hospital they specially hid their patients because he demonstrated poor performance

He did not maintain hygiene conditions and the staff named him"Dr. Death“

============================================

Concerns Made Publica regular meeting held in Queensland Health which

holds "Question Time" sessions.Stuart Copeland raised the topic of Patel’s clinical

practiceStuart Copeland was warned by Toni Hoffman about

Patel’s practices.Toni was a nurse practicing at Bundaberg Base

Hospital during those times

============================================

Patel LeavesAfter his suspension, Patel’s passport was not taken

into custody then he left Australia for Portland and was paid by Queensland Health

In 2007, Patel appeared in the sixty minutes film produced by Stephen Rice in the “Nine Network’s current affair program”

This got Jayant a lot of public attentions

============================================

Extradition to Australia

On 22 November, 2006 Patel was taken into custody and jailed on the orders of a magistrate who issued a warrant for Patel's arrest and was exiled to Australia. Patel was accused of three killings and five charges of body harm and on 21 July 2008 was exiled to Australia

============================================

Consequences

Political: As Queensland faced a police inquiry on account of hiring an incompetent doctor so obviously their image and name was also affected. The Queensland's Labour Party government which is led by Peter Beattie also faced problems because of this scandal. Then Gordon Nuttall after some time quit his job from his cabinet position as he was charged of corruption.

============================================

Contd.Patients in Bundaberg: The unfortunate patients

who were examined by Patel threatened and warned Queensland Government for their inability of taking necessary actions to control Patel’s practices on time. More than a thousand patients were treated by Patel and were then retreated to undo the damages

============================================

Contd.Morris Inquiry: Beattie Government summoned the

“Bundaberg Hospital Commission of Inquiry" in reply to Patel’s case which attracted a lot of disapproval from the public and the officials likewise. Anthony Morris in the tenth of June published an interim report which stated that all things included Patel was innocent and the charges against him were false. The report was tabled in State Parliament.

============================================

Contd.The report suggested that Patel be released of the

previous charges and must be blamed for one manslaughter, with causing "a negligent act causing harm" to another patient. Also the report included, Patel charged with the crime of fraud as he registered falsely in the Medical board of Queensland hospital for practicing medicine. It also involved Patel to be exiled and suggested some amendments to the Medical Practitioners Registration Act 2001.

============================================

Extradition

Patel was taken into custody on 11 March 2008 by FBI agents. Patel presented himself in the court earlier that day declaring that he was unable to pay for a lawyer and therefore appeared with a court lawyer. The nurse who had provided evidence against Patel named Toni Hoffman responded to Patel’s arrest by saying that "I am relieved he's been arrested, but there's still a lot to go."

============================================

Aftermath

Patel’s colleagues in Australia confirmed that on a lot of instances they have warned the administration of Patel’s inabilities and his non hygienic practices. All these confirmations were on aired in a television documentary by CNN named "They Called Him ‘Dr. Death’”.
