Hyderabad Hospital, Cardiologists ordered to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation for not following protocol
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-III, Hyderabad recently directed a hospital, and two associated doctors to jointly compensate Rs 10 lakh to a complainant for negligence leading to the death of his mother.
The District Consumer Court granted compensation to the complainant after concluding that the treating doctors and hospital acted 'hastily and negligently' in treating his mother/patient with multiple procedures at one go, despite being aware of the fact that the patient was not prepared for the subsequent procedure of Angioplasty with stenting except for the Angiogram which was originally planned.
