Mumbai: The High Court in London dismissed the appeal filed by an Indian Oncologist to set aside the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) which barred him from practicing in the United Kingdon
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the tribunal had barred the oncologist Dr Pantula Sastry from practicing in the United Kingdom after he was found guilty for a patient's death at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in 2014.
A medical practitioners' tribunal concluded that the doctor had knowingly given high dose BEAM chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation to a patient with lymphoma whose test results suggested she would not survive it when he was working at Mumbai-based Hospital, according to judgment quoted in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
The concerned case is of a patient, Sushma Agarwal, 55, who was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH) for treatment of a condition known as Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Dr Sastry had performed an autologous bone marrow transplant on the patient.
