The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently directed a doctor from West Bengal to pay Rs 2.5 lakh to a patient, whose skin condition did not improve despite undergoing treatment.
Even though the Apex Consumer Court found the allegations of medical negligence in the diagnosis of the disease and administration of steroids as false, it noted that the patient's condition did not improve, and she had to suffer a lot for not having received the benefits of the treatment administered by the treating doctor.
