flag Surgeon Ashish Lal admitted misconduct in 2018, leading to 18-year-old Jessica Sheedy’s death from complications after surgery.

flag Dr. Ashish Lal, a surgeon at University Hospital Limerick, admitted professional misconduct in the 2018 death of 18-year-old Jessica Sheedy, who died from complications after a complex abdominal surgery. flag The Medical Council found he failed to seek timely help from a vascular surgeon, lacked adequate experience and support, did not properly plan for risks, and misled about obtaining a second opinion. flag He performed the operation with only two junior doctors despite promising a larger team. flag The inquiry concluded his actions fell below expected standards, contributing to Sheedy’s death from multiple-organ failure after massive blood loss.
