Kolkata: On account of alleged derogatory comments on the social media platform Facebook, a radiation oncologist associated with the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital Kolkata has now sent a Rs 10 crore defamation notice to the kin of a deceased patient
The patient had died in 2018, during the course of the treatment at the hospital. The patient's kin then resorted to the social media platform, alleging that the patient was not provided proper treatment at the hospital, even going on to imply that the doctors at the hospital had laid a death trap for money, adding that the doctors had conspired to kill the patient.
" We need to ensure that the Dr ****** ***** does not end up murdering anyone beyond this point under the banner of being a doctor," the Facebook post further added.
Responding to the said post, the doctor sent a defamation notice demanding the publication of an apology. The notice denied any allegations made by the client, adding that even the proceedings started by the patient's kin before the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission now stands dismissed.
