The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated Fortis Hospital and its doctors from charges of medical negligence while conducting Spinal decompression on a patient back in 2005.
It was opined by the Apex consumer court that there was no deficiency in service after the Commission took note of the fact that even though the treating surgeon was absent after the operation, the patient was constantly under observation of other doctors, who managed the sudden post-operative cardiac complications of the patient and shifted the patient to other hospital.
