      " Fox News reporting the verdicts announced, regarding a US.Surgeon found," guilty", of  3 counts of manslaughter


        and one count of grievous,bodily harm,while practicing medicine at a state-run hospital, Queensland, Australia,


        between 2003- 2005. Apparently, this physician had been previously banned by the US Authorities


       from performing  surgical procedures, secondary to lack of proficient skills. " Motivated By Ego ?"


        **He left the US, acquired a position in Australia, yet failed to inform his current employers of his restrictions


       placed upon his licensure.Unfortunately," Doc", now faces a maximum sentence of ," life in prison".
