Delhi Consumer Court exonerates Ophthalmologist of medical negligence in cataract surgery
The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC) recently exonerated Ophthalmologist from charges of medical negligence while conducting Cataract Surgery on a patient who lost his vision following damages to the Pupil and Retina.
The State Consumer Court noted that the Complainant had not challenged the competency of Dr. Jain and therefore, it noted, "In the present case, the Complainant has vaguely alleged that the Opposite Party committed negligence in operating him, due to which his eye got damaged. However, this alone cannot be a ground for holding the Opposite Party liable for Medical Negligence since sometimes despite the best efforts, the patient may not favourably respond to a treatment given by doctor, due to which the treatment of a doctor may fail."
