NCDRC absolves UP Hospital, Cardiac Surgeon in medical negligence case

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has absolved an Uttar Pradesh-based hospital and an ex-chief cardiac surgeon held guilty by the State Commission in a medical negligence case filed by a cardiologist alleging that foreign objects, including needles and pins, were left in his chest during a bypass surgery.

Presiding Member of the Commission, Dr S M Kantikar set aside the order issued by the State Commission and observed that the needles are sharp and by any stretch of imagination, such foreign body certainly will not remain in chest for long 7 years without any symptoms.
