TWO Greenwich doctors have been sued by the family of a man who died after being prescribed a “dangerous combination” of drugs.

The family of Theo Osgerby were awarded £500,000 by the High Court on Friday after the judge found that the two GPs, Dr Subathira Ratnarajan and Dr Don Hettiarachchi, had been negligent in their treatment of him.

Both doctors were practicing at the Woodland Surgery in Woodland Walk, off Trafalgar Road, when they treated Mr Osgerby.

Mr Osgerby had been prescribed three different drugs which each had the effect of lowering his seizure threshold. He suffered a fatal seizure in 2005, aged 29, and was found by his daughter at their home.

Judge Lissack said: “Tragic is an overused word but it seems to apply in this case for the error upon error that was made in his care, which has been accepted by the defendants in these proceedings.”
