Irish doctor found guilty of failing to refer two children to emergency care, leading to serious harm.
Dr. Alicia Marton Martinez, a locum GP in Ireland, has been found guilty of professional misconduct for failing to refer two children to emergency care in 2022.
She dismissed severe symptoms in a 14-year-old boy with testicular torsion, leading to the loss of a testicle, and downplayed signs of meningitis in a 24-day-old infant, who later recovered after a second doctor’s intervention.
The Medical Council concluded her actions fell below expected standards, citing serious lapses in clinical judgment despite no evidence of fraud.
She did not attend the hearing and had previously agreed not to practice medicine.
The case is pending sanction.
