UK: Paki Doctor Found Guilty of Serious Misconduct After White Child Dies in His Care

Baljinder Ubhi

Here’s another white child who’d still be alive if we hadn’t enriched our nations with incompetent Third Worlders.

Of course, he isn’t being stuck off because of it.

Daily Mail:

A doctor who mistook deadly blood poisoning for tonsillitis, leading to a four-year-old girl’s death, has been found guilty of serious misconduct but escaped being struck off.

A medical tribunal decided that despite a catalogue of errors, Dr Baljinder Ubhi was not a risk to patients following the tragic death of Gracie Foster, who died of sepsis just hours after he sent her home from hospital.

The youngster from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, had been due to have her tonsils removed before surgery was cancelled after she fell sick on the hospital ward.

The hearing was told consultant paediatrician Dr Ubhi admitted he was ‘cutting corners’ and failed to carry out a series of basic examinations on Gracie or prescribe antibiotics and decided she simply had a viral infection.

An inquest in September 2018, found there were ‘gross failures’ by healthcare professionals which contributed to her death in October 2015.

At the time her mother, Michelle Foster, said: ‘Nothing will bring Gracie back – her early, tragic and avoidable death is something from which her family will never recover.

‘Gracie walked into hospital on the day of her death a happy, chatty and joyous little girl.

‘Gracie’s family never imagined that the very same day they would see their little girl covered in tubes, being resuscitated – witnessing Gracie’s death in such traumatic circumstances is something they have to relive daily.’

At the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing, Dr Ubhi accepted that he failed to adequately review Gracie’s medical records or obtain a history from her mother when he took charge of her case at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

The tribunal ruling today stated: ‘Dr Ubhi failed to assess [Gracei’s] behaviour, heart rate, breathing rate, capillary refill time, skin colour or extremities’ skin temperature.

‘Dr Ubhi failed to arrange for the following investigations to be undertaken for Patient A (Gracie): a full blood count blood culture C-Reactive Protein (CRP) level urine analysis and culture.

‘Dr Ubhi failed to request that a period of observation be undertaken in respect of Patient A, pending the results of those investigations. Dr Ubhi did not record his consultation with Patient A in the medical notes.

‘After examination solely of the tonsils Dr Ubhi diagnosed Patient A with viral tonsillitis and advised that antibiotics were not required.’

After her condition deteriorated, her worried family rushed Gracie to Sheffield Children’s Hospital but she could not be saved and died due to meningococcal septicaemia.

When questioned at the hearing, Dr Ubhi also accepted he had been ‘cutting corners’ on the day in question, saying he was very busy.
