Holding an allopathic doctor negligent for prescribing Ayurvedic Medicine, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC), South II, recently directed him to pay compensation to the father of a minor patient, who died from fever, stomach pain, and respiratory distress.
"...OP-1 (the doctor) had prescribed Ayurvedic Medicine for which he was not qualified. Hence, we find OP-1 negligent to this extent," the consumer court observed in the order.
