Reiterating the Supreme Court's observation that every death occurring in a hospital does not necessarily amount to medical negligence, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated a doctor, accused of operating on a cancer patient without obtaining a Biopsy report. The bench noted that the doctor had performed only an Excisional Biopsy to confirm cancer, which is a prescribed method to diagnose Cancer, and it does not come within the purview of surgery.
