Dubai: A doctor has denied leaving a 52-year-old man permanently disabled following two reportedly botched operations on his rectum.
The 37-year-old Indian doctor, identified as M.I., pleaded innocent before Presiding Judge Ebrahim Khalil of the Dubai Court of Misdemeanour.
The Public Prosecution charged him with negligently carrying out two failed operations on Pakistani technician, W.M. Records said the victim was left with 15 per cent permanent paralysis in his leg due to the doctor's negligence.
"Not guilty... I want time to present my defence," the doctor told the court at Sunday's hearing.
The victim's legal representative presented Judge Khalil a copy of his client's civil lawsuit in which he is claiming Dh20,000 in temporary compensation for moral, emotional and financial losses following the incident.
