Catchwords

The plaintiff complains that he suffered catastrophic injuries at birth in Hospital Kuala Lumpur. It is his case that he has since been diagnosed with hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy with hemidystonia resulting in poor function of his right upper and lower limbs due to dystonic movements, mild dysarthria of speech, pes planus with shortening of the right leg, impairments in gait, left knee injury as a result of overuse of the left leg, and habitual shoulder dislocation. In this regard, the court finds that the defendants were negligent in failing to perform an urgent caesarean section despite the plaintiff's mother's emergency. As a result, the plaintiff suffered injuries. Specifically, the plaintiff unnecessarily suffered the adverse effects of a severe cord prolapse due to the doctors' lack of clinical management skills.
