Doc who repeatedly botched two-month-old baby’s circumcision ‘tried to bribe family to drop lawsuit with school fees offer’
Dr Muhammad Chaudhary, 52, was being sued for bungling the initial £150 procedure, but then fouled up a further four times, The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service is told
A FAMILY doctor who botched a baby boy’s circumcision tried to bribe his family into dropping a damages claim against him by offering to pay the youngster’s private school fees, a medical tribunal heard today.
Dr Muhammad Chaudhary, 52, was being sued for compensation after he bungled the £150 procedure on the two-month-old tot, then failed to repair the damage with up to FOUR further operations.
But in a bid to get the civil claim dropped, Chaudhary pestered the grandfather of the boy at a restaurant he owned, handing out gifts and offering to pay the family's legal costs and private school fees for the child, it was claimed.
Following five operations on the boy which left his genitalia badly damaged, he also took gifts to the grandfather for the child in attempts to “butter him up”, a fitness to practice hearing heard.
But ultimately the child had to be referred to a specialist surgeon - as he should have been after the first failed repairing operation - and three further hospital operations were required to correct the damage.
