No medical negligence: Medanta Hospital, Cardiologist gets Rs 2.78 crore relief
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently reiterated the Supreme Court's observations that while an action for negligence can certainly be maintained, there should be no harassment of doctors merely because their treatment was unsuccessful. With this observation, the Apex Consumer Court exonerated Medanta Hospital and its Cardiologist from the allegations of medical negligence during Pacemaker Implantation.
The history of the case goes back to 2016 when the patient was admitted at Medanta, The Medicity for planned and Elective Procedure of Pacemaker implantation. A detailed examination was conducted. However, the doctor and duty nurse did not find any abnormality in the patient.
