64-year-old Bala Kovvali was found guilty of "criminal negligence" for the "wholly preventable death" of Andre Fellows in June, 2009, at Sheffield Crown Court, on Tuesday.

Dr Kovvali ignored the classic signs of diabetes-related poisonous acids building up in Mr Fellows and diagnosed him as "depressed with a headache".



A test would have alerted the doctor to raised blood-sugar levels and it is "virtually certain" Mr Fellows would have survived with an insulin injection and rehydration, the court was told.

"It was criminal negligence and a wholly preventable death followed," said Judge Roger Keen.

The old man seems to be experienced and worked in UK from 82 - 88. It just one of those moments his mind failed to detect the "obvious". Of course, once a patient is diagnosed with depression (or other psych stuffs) and on meds, all his future conditions are "subconsciously" viewed by other doctors from a mental illness angle. Although professionally, it should not be their inherent human tendency takes over.

So all Psych patients, dont tell them about your psych meds/illness RIGHTAWAY if you are sick. You will likely get a better and more accurate diagnosis.
