ShareKUWAIT: The misdemeanors court sentenced an expatriate doctor to jail and deportation due to a medical error that happened during an operation that caused complications to a female patient. Lawyer Houraa Habib filed the complaint on behalf of her client, whose condition worsened after the surgical procedure. But the doctor failed to correct the situation, and instead sent her to another medical center, according to the complainant. Habib said that they will also file a case at the civil court for compensation.
