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.
