Doctor was unable to take patient’s pulse

A ROMANIAN doctor who was unable to take a patient’s pulse has been found guilty of poor professional performance following a fitness to practise inquiry by the Medical Council.

The inquiry upheld a number of allegations against Dr Asia Ndaga, who was not at the inquiry, but did not find her guilty of professional misconduct.

Chairman Brendan Broderick said the 31-year-old doctor, who worked at Letterkenny General Hospital in Donegal failed to meet standards of competence that could be reasonably expected of medical practitioners.
