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.

The child, the son of a mainland Chinese couple, was born at Baptist Hospital in Kowloon Tong on December 19.
