The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently upheld the Punjab State Commission's order directing Mohali-based Max Hospital and its 3 doctors including a senior cardiologist, to pay Rs 25 lakh compensation to a man for not providing a standard of care to his wife before and after conducting the Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Surgery.
It was observed by the Commission that the woman was a high-risk patient and the ECHO test conducted a day before the surgery showed LVEF as 35%. Therefore, it was a cardiac risk, noted the Commission and observed that after discharge, when the patient's condition deteriorated, the hospital did not admit her.
