The Kuala Lumpur High Court awarded RM5.1 million in damages to the estate of the former
00:06
CEO of Highway Operator Prolintas, who suffered brain damage after surgery at a private hospital.
00:13
Justice Arif Emran Arifin said the plaintiff had proven on a balance of probabilities that
00:18
Pusat Pakar Tawakkal Sundaran Berhad, an ear, nose and throat surgeon, and an anaesthetist
00:24
were liable for medical negligence.
00:26
According to the facts of the case, Zainuddin Abdul Qadir was admitted to the hospital on
00:31
February 22, 2016, and underwent nasal surgery four days later.
00:36
The surgery began at 5.45pm and ended at 8.05pm, with records indicating no untoward incident
00:43
during the procedure, but Zainuddin collapsed at 9.30pm.
00:47
The hospital's protocol said doctors must observe patients in the recovery bay for at
00:51
least an hour after the reversal of the anaesthesia before they are discharged to the ward, but
00:55
in Zainuddin's case, the process only lasted 25 minutes.
00:59
As the patient was still drowsy, the ENT surgeon intubated him in the esophagus instead of
01:04
the trachea, which led to the brain damage.
01:07
The suit was filed in 2018, but Zainuddin died in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic,
01:12
resulting in his wife Nur Rizam Abdul Wahab, the administrator of his estate, being substituted
01:17
as the plaintiff.
