Misdiagnosis isn’t misconduct, lawyer for accused doctor tells medical watchdog
A Hong Kong doctor is accused of professional misconduct after a boy in his care was left permanently disabled over 16 years ago. The doctor's lawyer argued misdiagnosis or incompetence does not equate to misconduct, while the Medical Council's prosecution emphasized that misconduct involves underperformance evaluated by an inquiry panel.
