Each time a 15-year-old girl looks at the mirror, she is reminded of how someone at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital administered a drip on the left side of her face by mistake when she was only a 65 days old.
This girl has a horrible scar on her face and her schoolmates tease her all ime and she comes home crying, her mother said in today’s The Star (Pg25).
About 11 years ago, her parents sued hospital, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s medical faculty dean and the Government for negligence.
Yesterday, the High Court reduced the damages award from RM60,000 to RM30,000.
The mother was emotional outside the courtroom. She wanted to get facial reconstruction done on her daughter.
A mere RM30,000 after 15 years of living with a horrible scar on the face that would not have been there if the hospital staff had not been negligent.

When the judiciary makes their decision on what the executive will have to say about their judgments which would be against the government health services, then they have lost or pretend to remember that there is such a value call empathy.Undoubtedly, this is not a preferred value to be inculcated amongst those who warm the bench. Komathy would not give this type of judgement!
