Blood Money: The Cyril Karabus Story

Renowned paediatrician Professor Cyril Karabus has relived his nightmare in a United Arab Emirates jail in a book that warns expatriate doctors about the ‘dangers’ of working in the Middle East, reports [s]The Times[/s]. Author Suzanne Belling has written a book, [i]Blood Money: The Cyril Karabus Story[/i], based on Karabus’s diary entries of hisexperience. His arrest followed an operation he performed on a three-year-old cancer patient while he was working at [b]Sheikh Khalifa Medical Centre[/b] in Abu Dhabi in 2002. Even though medical records absolved him of any wrongdoing, Karabus spent two months in jail and seven months under house arrest.
