India: Guilty neurosurgeon faces probe by the municipal commissioner
dnaindia.com on December 25, 2011 reported that after being found guilty of using his patients as guinea pigs, KEM’s neurosurgery head Dr Atul Goel is now being probed by the municipal commissioner in a third enquiry committee held by the BMC. In September, the KEM hospital’s three-member committee found Dr Goel guilty of not taking permission from the ethics committee for using a “non-scientific and bio-mechanically unproven” technique to perform complex surgeries and making money off of it from unaware patients. The hospital later asked Sir JJ Hospital for a probe. The JJ-appointed committee that was headed by Dr S Nanandwar also found Dr Goel guilty in its probe this month.
