Kaieteur News: "Police Physician, Dr. Mahendra Chand, admitted to several professional lapses during his examination of the teenage boy
who was tortured by police.
These include failing to examine the teen properly for other possible injuries, failing to take notes or keep a permanent record of the case; failing to solicit the patient’s age or any information from the patient as to how he sustained the injuries; and failing to make a written referral for the patient to be admitted to a hospital.
Dr. Chand made the admissions on November 20, 2009, when he was called before the Guyana Medical Council, to ascertain if he was guilty of professional misconduct.
In a subsequent letter, the Council informed Dr. Chand that based on his admission, his actions were “not consistent with the norms expected of a registered doctor in Guyana.”"
