BREAKING NEWS: Surgeon Arrested 10 Months After Patient Dies

[Melvin- Admin]

Do you guys remember 10 months back a 43-year old man from Mumbai India, passed away after having an FUE procedure of 9,000 grafts. Well, not only was the doctor found negligent, but he was arrested and booked because of his negligence. Thoughts? 

Hair Transplant Surgeon Arrested Ten Months After Patient Dies

So basically, the patient didn't die because 9,000 grafts were harvested, instead, died from an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, because the doctor didn't do skin tests before administering it. IMHO, they should take away his medical license so he cant practice medicine anymore and put him in jail for a long time.

This is extremely sad. Hopefully this brings to the light that there needs to be a higher levels of industry standards across the board. This site should be able to continue offering advice to those unfamiliar with the surgery, physicians and proper ways of operating.

The biggest takeaways from this are that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. No ethical physician would ever attempt 9,000 grafts because it's not realistic. It sounds like this patient was promised the "magic wand solution". Please educate yourself on the physician, their practice and methods of operation. In doing so, it can literally save your life.

Regardless of what is on any consent including “death”, Surgeons are held accountable for their actions that harm a patient.  Even if a patient commits suicide due to damages, then that patients family can go after a doc.  Sad this happened and in the days of scalp flaps and etc, it was actually common.  
 

feel sorry for this patient and his family though—- tragic

@Eugenix Hair Science Dr. Pradeep Sethi was on the committee that helped book him for negligence, it’s good that there are still good surgeons out there that can help book these negligent physicians.

If a patient is feeling suicidal, I think there is something deeper than hair loss. I am a huge proponent on mental health. There is a mental health crisis in North America, it is the silent killer. Mental health before hair.

Yes @Melvin-Moderator  I remember very well when I was at @Eugenix Hair Science for my HT, , before I went into the procedure room I recieved anaesthesia as a precaution to ensure all was ok before surgery.

It's really sad for the family involved. 

Thanks for sharing

Wow. Horrific and tragic. Hoping the outcome of the lawsuit brings some sort of closure to the family, but the fact that he reportedly had 13 other instances of negligent behavior makes it all the more infuriating.

Yea, at least this negligent doctor getting his license revoked so this doesn’t happen again is a great thing.

Eugenix have mentioned that they’ve done 16,000 grafts on a patient in 3 sittings including grafts from the scalp, beard and body yet they are regarded highly because of their work.

 

i personally believe it’s the dr’s negligence and not the fact that 9000 grafts were taken.

Uhh 9000 grafts in one sitting is pretty unheard of. This procedure likely took a very long time and a lot of anesthesia likely had to be used

Patient Safety and Health is the utmost importance @Eugenix Hair Science as I and thousands of others who had the experience of having their HT there.

9,000 grafts in one sitting is absurd. Eugenix get high graft counts combining body hair. Most patients do not possess a donor supply that can withstand 9,000 grafts, let alone in one shot. Very reckless and unethical.
