Gas Fitter Jailed for Hospital Gas Mix-Up

Published 1 week ago
Description

Former gas fitter Christopher Turner, 64, jailed for nearly three years for installing faulty medical gas lines at Sydney hospital, leading to newborns death and severe brain damage to another. Turner, a subcontractor, skipped required tests, causing a mix-up between oxygen and nitrous oxide lines. Baby Amelia Khan suffered severe brain damage, while John Ghanem died after resuscitation. Turner pleaded guilty to manslaughter and causing grievous bodily harm by omission. He was sentenced to two years and ten months, with ten months before parole, and fined one hundred thousand dollars. The case led to new laws in New South Wales for licensing medical gas installers.
