Nguyen was left brain injured and unable to speak, walk or feed herself, needing around-the-clock medical care. She "We understand medical procedures don't always go as planned, but this defendant showed a shocking and extreme lack of judgment and humanity by failing to call for an ambulance and denying his patient appropriate treatment in a hospital setting," Chief Deputy District Attorney Gary Dawson said in a statement.
Kim was also found guilty of obstruction of telephone services. He faces up to three years in the Department of Corrections. That hearing is set for Sept. 8. in an out-of-court settlement.
