Dr. Jayant Patel, dubbed "Dr. Death," was a U.S.-trained surgeon who worked at Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland, Australia, from 2003 to 2005. During his tenure, he performed approximately 1,000 surgeries, many of which were marred by negligence, leading to numerous patient injuries and deaths. In 2010, Patel was convicted of three counts of manslaughter and one of grievous bodily harm, resulting in a seven-year prison sentence. He appealed all the way to the High Court and the court upheld his appeal. He later pleaded guilty to fraud charges and was released from prison. In this episode of Crime Insiders | Judgements we take a deep dive into the case against Patel, the flaws in the prosecution's case and how he managed to only spend two years behind bars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Health Minister is standing by the current pay offer to senior doctors. Thousands of planned procedures have been delayed following yesterday's strike action, while Health New Zealand is applying to the Employment Relations Authority for urgent facilitation. Union members have told Newstalk ZB their pay rates aren't keeping up with the private sector or with Australia. But Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking the pay offer is "credible" given Health New Zealand only has so much money to go around. He says the health budget has to cover hospital services, GPs, aged care, and a range of other things, and there's pressure across the board.

A war of words is escalating between the Health Minister and senior doctors' union as its members prepare for unprecedented industrial action. Health Minister Simeon Brown has claimed the doctor's union is putting politics before patients but that has been met with a furious response from a frontline doctor calling the remark reprehensible. Labour says the government needs to stop hurling mud and focus on resolving the dispute.  The union wants a 12 percent pay bump but has been offered a much smaller increase of between 1 and 1.5 percent. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch reports.
