Dr. Death redux?
"'I immediately went to the hospital and I found a patient that was in the process of being operated on by the Russian doctor and he had conducted an operation on this patient not knowing what to do.'
Dr Jayasekera, an Australian-qualified surgeon and fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, said he completed the operation successfully and complained to a superior who asked him to supervise Dr Kotlovsky in future.
But he said that a few days later the Russian doctor 'messed up' a second operation and had gone against advice about how to do the procedure.
'He ignored my instruction and carried out the difficult operation without my supervision and caused damage to the patient, so much so that the patient was evacuated to the Gold Coast Hospital for urgent emergency treatment and I understood that that patient passed away,' Dr Jayasekera said."

We should get some tort reform that applies to him so we can get him to work in nursing homes! The only thing that will save nursing home residents is making physicians and the homes LESS responsible for their acts!

The last question seems a pertinent one: Why is the situation in some parts of Australia so desperate that they must employ bunglers? Where have the Australian doctors gone, and why?
Could this have an anything to do with a climate of litigation, formerly described as "one of the worst in the world"? The psychopaths never care about litigation, that's their disease, a normal person gets broken by it and ceases practice.
So in this way, a climate of constant legal pressure will gradually weed out the good doctors and leave you with the mentally abnormal ones.
And Australia, you deserve it, this is a situation of your own making.
