Doctor ordered to Pay Rs 6 lakh for medical negligence in kidney removal case
Advertisement
The Telangana State Consumer Redressal Commission has dismissed an appeal from a doctor at a Karimnagar hospital accused of removing a patient's kidney during surgery for kidney stones. The commission upheld the earlier ruling of the Karimnagar District Consumer Disputes Forum, which had imposed a compensation of ₹6 lakh for medical negligence.
The patient had approached the hospital with severe stomach pain and was diagnosed with kidney stones. After depositing ₹6,000 for the surgery, complications arose post-operation, leading to a transfer to NIMS in Hyderabad for further treatment.
