Description: (Accused of gross negligence whilst working at Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland, Australia)
Jayant Mukundray Patel, an Indian-born American surgeon, gained notoriety for his controversial professional history. Accused of gross negligence during his tenure at Bundaberg Base Hospital in Australia, Patel's actions led to patient deaths and received significant media coverage in 2005. In 2010, he was found guilty of manslaughter and grievous bodily harm, but these convictions were overturned in 2012 due to prejudicial evidence. Following a retrial, Patel was acquitted of one manslaughter charge and later admitted guilt to fraud. Consequently, he was prohibited from practicing medicine in Australia in 2015.
