Observing that there was no medical negligence or deficiency in service during the spine treatment of a patient, the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC), Punjab, recently exonerated a Ludhiana-based hospital and neurosurgeon.
The history of the case goes back to 2013 when the complainant was having backache with pain in bilateral lower limb and weakness in right foot and was diagnosed with “PIVD L5-S1 with Grade-I Spondylolisthesis”. He was admitted to the treating hospital on 28.05.2013 for treatment of the said ailment, where he was thoroughly examined and underwent transforminal lumbar interbody fusion on the same day by the Senior Consultant doctor.
