The most important Malaysian medical-negligence decision of the past 30 years.<\/aside>\n<\/header>\n<section id=\"facts\">\n<h2>The facts<\/h2>\n<p>Madam Foo Fio Na was a 28-year-old woman who suffered persistent neck pain following a road traffic accident in 1981. She was diagnosed with a fracture-dislocation of the C5\/C6 vertebrae. The first defendant, Dr Soo Fook Mun, recommended spinal surgery (anterior cervical fusion).<\/p>\n<p>During or shortly after the procedure, Madam Foo became <strong>paraplegic<\/strong> from the chest down. Despite further treatment, she remained permanently paralysed.<\/p>\n<p>She sued on three grounds: (1) negligent surgery; (2) failure to inform of material risks (including the risk of paralysis); (3) negligent post-operative management.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"lower-courts\">\n<h2>The High Court and Court of Appeal<\/h2>\n<p>The High Court found for the plaintiff on grounds 1 and 2 and awarded RM 700,000. The Court of Appeal reversed, applying the Bolam Test: a responsible body of medical opinion would have approached both surgery and disclosure the same way. The plaintiff appealed to the Federal Court.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"federal-court\">\n<h2>The Federal Court&#8217;s decision<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Bolam applies to diagnosis and treatment<\/h3>\n<p>The Court accepted that for the surgical-negligence claim, the Bolam Test as qualified by Bolitho remained the correct standard. There was a responsible body of medical opinion supporting Dr Soo&#8217;s surgical approach, and that opinion withstood logical analysis. Ground 1 failed.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Rogers v Whitaker applies to the duty to advise<\/h3>\n<p>For the failure-to-disclose claim, the Federal Court rejected the Bolam Test and adopted the Australian High Court&#8217;s test in <em>Rogers v Whitaker<\/em> (1992) 175 CLR 479:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;A risk is material if, in the circumstances of the particular case, a reasonable person in the patient&#8217;s position, if warned of the risk, would be likely to attach significance to it; or if the medical practitioner is or should reasonably be aware that the particular patient, if warned of the risk, would be likely to attach significance to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Applied to the facts, the risk of paralysis from cervical spine surgery \u2014 though small \u2014 was clearly material. A reasonable patient would have wanted to know. Ground 2 succeeded; final award was RM 100,000 plus interest, special damages and costs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"significance\">\n<h2>Why Foo Fio Na matters today<\/h2>\n<h3>For patients<\/h3>\n<p>If you were not warned of a material risk that materialised, you have a stronger claim than under the old Bolam standard. Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Surgery without disclosure of paralysis, blindness, or sterility risks<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic procedures without disclosure of scarring or revision-surgery risks<\/li>\n<li>Drug treatments without disclosure of significant side effects<\/li>\n<li>Cancer treatments without disclosure of less-aggressive alternatives<\/li>\n<li>Childbirth interventions without disclosure of caesarean alternatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For doctors<\/h3>\n<p>Document risk disclosure carefully. The signed consent form is no longer enough. Best practice: disclose all common risks (over 1% incidence); disclose any rare-but-serious risks (paralysis, death, blindness); disclose alternatives (including no treatment); document the conversation in patient notes; allow time for questions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"practical\">\n<h2>Practical implications for your case<\/h2>\n<p>If you are considering a medical negligence claim, ask:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What was the procedure?<\/li>\n<li>Was there a known risk you were not told about?<\/li>\n<li>Did that risk materialise?<\/li>\n<li>Would you have refused or delayed if you had been told?<\/li>\n<li>Have you obtained your medical records?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If yes to all five, you have a Foo Fio Na claim worth investigating.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cta\">\n<h2>Free 30-minute consultation<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m Dr Chee Hui Bing \u2014 qualified medical doctor and Advocate &amp; Solicitor.
