A Saudi court ordered three doctors to pay SR110,000 (Dh108,000) to a woman who suffered from paralysis and loss of many senses because of an anesthesia overdose during a Caesarian operation.
A Sudanese anesthesia doctor who was blamed for the medical error fled Saudi Arabia while two local doctors were ordered to pay the compensation.
The woman’s husband said his wife had been bed ridden for five years following the operation at a private hospital in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah.“She was paralyzed and her hearing sense was damaged while she lost 10 per cent of her eye sight…doctors said her brain and limbs have also lost their senses,” he said, quoted by Sharq Arabic language daily.
