KD 4,000 Fine For Pharmacist For Deceptive Sales Of Medicines

The Criminal Court fined a pharmacist KD 4,000 for selling medicines worth KD 600 to a citizen in the belief that they would treat gangrene, but the medicines ended up worsening his condition and eventually leading to the amputation of his foot. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the medicines were meant to clean wounds and not treat gangrene, and the defendant had visited the victim at home to treat him and deceived him into believing that the medicine was German. It was denied by the suspect that he was impersonating a doctor.

During a visit to a car wash station, he heard a young man talking on the phone about his brother's gangrene-stricken condition. As soon as he ended the call, the suspect asked him about his brother’s condition and expressed interest in it. He assured the victim’s brother that he had the appropriate treatment and that he had to pay KD 600 to buy these medications, and so he agreed. The suspect brought medication and began the treatment for several days, but it worsened the victim’s condition. The medical staff decided that the foot had to be amputated after his temperature rose significantly, and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.
