Reiterating that doctors cannot be held negligence merely because things went wrong, the High Court of Himachal Pradesh recently set aside an order by the lower court to pay Rs 2.6 lakh compensation to the family of a patient who died while giving birth to a child at Zonal Hospital, Hamirpur.

Although the daughter of the deceased alleged that her mother had died due to the gross negligence of the doctors and nurses of the hospital, the HC bench exonerated them from such allegations.
