Question:
Jamal suffered from injuries to his right and left legs in a car accident and was immediately taken to Hospital Sejahtera. The doctors in the emergency room decided that Jamal will need immediate surgery to one of his legs to stop the bleeding and prevent further complications. When Jamal woke up, he realized that instead of receiving treatment on his left leg, which was clearly damaged, his right leg, which was in a better condition, had been amputated. The doctor had carelessly checked a chart and believed him to be a different patient, who was later scheduled to have his right leg amputated.
Advise Jamal whether he can take legal action against the doctor and the hospital.
