The lawyer for a Hong Kong doctor accused of professional misconduct after a boy in his care was left permanently disabled more than 16 years ago has told the medical watchdog that misdiagnosis or incompetence does not equate to misconduct.

Dr Sit Sou-chi is accused of failing to conduct necessary and immediate checks on newborn Li Yuanjian after the infant suffered a neonatal seizure on December 22, 2009.

The child, the son of a mainland Chinese couple, was born at Baptist Hospital in Kowloon Tong on December 19.
Yuanjian was later diagnosed with Group B Streptococcal meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia.
