A disciplinary hearing is set to continue this morning for a Kamloops dentist accused of professional misconduct.
Doctor Bobby Rishiraj is being investigated after a teenage girl suffered a heart attack while he was removing her wisdom teeth in November of 2012.
She is now suffering from permanent brain damage.
It’s believed Rishiraj used propofol, also known as deep sedation, which he does not have a licence to use.
The College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. is alleging Rishiraj failed to exercise the level of care expected of a competent practitioner and failed to recognize signs of cardiac arrest in a timely way.
Rishiraj’s first disciplinary hearing took place last November.
