The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC), Punjab, recently exonerated a Pathankot-based Eye Hospital, accused of medical negligence during eye surgery, after noting that there was no evidence on record to prove that the surgery was performed.
The history of the case goes back to 2020 when the complainant suffered an eye injury at work and approached the treating hospital for medical treatment. It was submitted by the patient that the hospital got the injured left-eye-radio-graphed (x-rayed) and observed that a ‘Tiny radio-opacity noted in the left orbit seems some foreign particle’ and advised for surgery.
