Leaked discharge summary from hospital: Plastic-surgeon faces heat

The hospital ordered probe in this matter following the criticism that Dr. Anand faced by the Karnataka High Court. The doctor has been issued a show-cause notice by the hospital authorities as to why any disciplinary action shouldn’t be taken against him.

While confirming the investigation, Commodore Indru Wadhwani, CEO, Mallya Hospital, told TOI, “His services have not been terminated, as wrongly reported in some sections of the media. An internal committee is looking into the matter,” he said.

Meanwhile speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Dr Anand said that his statements have been contorted. "I have been wronged and some media houses have twisted my statements. I have been condemned without being heard," he stated.

When asked about how Vidvat’s discharge summary was leaked to the press, he stated, "As the name indicates, it was a summary of entire case sheet and it is highly probable for anyone to pass derogatory remarks against me if they have had an occasion to study the discharge summary. It was prepared with reference to the entire case sheet and my professional opinion."

“I am not aware of the contents of the medical records produced in the court and therefore can't comment on it," he added
