Surgeon cannot be held responsible for gangrene: Consumer Court exonerates doctor
The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Maharashtra recently exonerated a Mumbai-based surgeon from charges of medical negligence, while performing AVF fistula surgery on a patient, who died after developing gangrene.
Even though earlier the District Consumer Court at Bandra had held the doctor liable for negligence, the State Commission exonerated him holding that the District Commission did not consider the report from the Urology Department of Grant Medical College, J.J. Group of Hospitals, Surgery and overlooked the expert evidence, as per which, there was no negligence by the surgeon.
