3. Introduction
Jayant Mukundray Patel:
 Born on April 10, 1950

while working in Bundaberg Base Hospital

4. Contd.
was accused of showing incompetence at work and
on June 2010
was condemned and announced as a criminal on
account of murdering three innocent people and
another for agonizing harm to a patient
Patel was held in jail for seven years
============================================

5. Background
Patel was employed by Queensland Health which is a
government department of health, under an "area of
need program”
Patel in 2003 was promoted to the post of Director of
Surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital without
checking his prior qualifications or credentials
he was assigned even though he had no expert
knowledge
============================================

6. Contd.
was the reason which explained his incompetence as
he was described by the staff as "antiquated" and
"sloppy".
nurses were reported to have said that whenever
Patel was in the hospital they specially hid their
patients because he demonstrated poor performance
He did not maintain hygiene conditions and the staff
named him"Dr. Death“
============================================

7. Concerns Made Public
a regular meeting held in Queensland Health which
holds "Question Time" sessions.
Stuart Copeland raised the topic of Patel’s clinical
practice
Stuart Copeland was warned by Toni Hoffman about
Patel’s practices.
Toni was a nurse practicing at Bundaberg Base
Hospital during those times
============================================

8. Patel Leaves
After his suspension, Patel’s passport was not taken
into custody then he left Australia for Portland and
was paid by Queensland Health
In 2007, Patel appeared in the sixty minutes film
produced by Stephen Rice in the “Nine Network’s
current affair program”
This got Jayant a lot of public attentions
============================================

9. Extradition to Australia
On 22 November, 2006 Patel was taken into custody
and jailed on the orders of a magistrate who issued a
warrant for Patel's arrest and was exiled to Australia.
Patel was accused of three killings and five charges of
body harm and on 21 July 2008 was exiled to Australia
============================================

10. Consequences
Political: As Queensland faced a police inquiry on
account of hiring an incompetent doctor so obviously
their image and name was also affected. The
Queensland's Labour Party government which is led
by Peter Beattie also faced problems because of this
scandal. Then Gordon Nuttall after some time quit his
job from his cabinet position as he was charged of
corruption.
============================================

11. Contd.
Patients in Bundaberg: The unfortunate patients
who were examined by Patel threatened and warned
Queensland Government for their inability of taking
necessary actions to control Patel’s practices on time.
More than a thousand patients were treated by Patel
and were then retreated to undo the damages
============================================

12. Contd.
Morris Inquiry: Beattie Government summoned the
“Bundaberg Hospital Commission of Inquiry" in reply
to Patel’s case which attracted a lot of disapproval
from the public and the officials likewise. Anthony
Morris in the tenth of June published an interim
report which stated that all things included Patel was
innocent and the charges against him were false. The
report was tabled in State Parliament.
============================================

13. Contd.
The report suggested that Patel be released of the
previous charges and must be blamed for one
manslaughter, with causing "a negligent act causing
harm" to another patient. Also the report included,
Patel charged with the crime of fraud as he registered
falsely in the Medical board of Queensland hospital
for practicing medicine. It also involved Patel to be
exiled and suggested some amendments to the
Medical Practitioners Registration Act 2001.
============================================

14. Extradition
Patel was taken into custody on 11 March 2008
by FBI agents. Patel presented himself in the court
earlier that day declaring that he was unable to pay
for a lawyer and therefore appeared with a court
lawyer. The nurse who had provided evidence against
Patel named Toni Hoffman responded to Patel’s arrest
by saying that "I am relieved he's been arrested, but
there's still a lot to go."
============================================

15. Aftermath
Patel’s colleagues in Australia confirmed that on a lot
of instances they have warned the administration of
Patel’s inabilities and his non hygienic practices. All
these confirmations were on aired in a television
documentary by CNN named "They Called Him ‘Dr.
Death’”.
