Three nurses were found guilty of professional misconduct on the day of Monday following a serious medical blunder in which a 73-year-old cancer patient died after a breathing hole on his throat was blocked by gauze.
This was a landmark case for the Nursing Council, the statutory body that licenses and disciplines medical professionals, with a dozen public nurses awaiting verdicts after a hearing that lasted seven months.
The3 nurses who were convicted had straightly participated in the care of the patient, who had advanced cancer hypopharynx, in the year 2011. Their 9 colleagues were cleared of the charges.
