NCDRC holds no medical negligence while conducting transpedicular screw fixation, exonerates neurosurgeon

Observing that the adopted treatment method was an accepted medical practice, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated a Neurosurgeon and hospital from charges of medical negligence while conducting transpedicular screw fixation between vertebrae on a patient suffering from Osteoporosis.

Referring to the MCI order, which had also exonerated the doctor, the top consumer court noted, "The OP-1 adopted the standard reasonable practice and also followed ethical principles to his professional colleague the anaesthetist, whose mother was operated by OP-1. We haven't expected, but surprised that the patient's son being an anaesthetist, how can raise frivolous allegation that pre anaesthetic check-up was not done. We find the doctors treated the patient reasonably and there was no deficiency or negligence during the treatment."
