This is the Indian doctor who implanted a heart valve upside down in a child, and his education was completed in India. In India, a person only needs to earn 40% to pass, which is basically an ‘F’ in the U.S.

Horrifying medical malpractice by Indian doctor named Ashok Muralidaran
at OHSU. A 13-year-old Oregon girl’s heart valve was implanted upside down during surgery by Dr. Ashok . Her heart wouldn’t restart. For 18 days she was on life support while doctors told her devastated parents she was dying, discussed end-of-life care, and even organ donation.
Seattle Children’s fixed the catastrophic error in one procedure. Her heart started working immediately. She’s now making a “miraculous recovery.”
This level of negligence is unforgivable. Praying for full healing for this brave girl.
