Uttarakhand Consumer Court Exonerates Radiologist of Negligence in Foetal Anomaly Case
Advertisement
Granting relief to a Haridwar-based Radiologist, the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Uttarakhand, recently exonerated him from charges of medical negligence for failure to detect foetal anomalies.
Even though the complainant alleged that the Radiologist failed to diagnose the absence or severe underdevelopment of Fetal Femur Length, lumbar, and sacrum while conducting prenatal USGs, the State Consumer Court reiterated a previous judgment that held that an ultrasound report should not be considered conclusive proof of internal organ conditions.
