The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated a Lucknow-based hospital and doctor from charges of medical negligence during the treatment of a 75-year-old patient.
Earlier, the State Consumer Court had held the hospital and its management guilty for faulty nursing care resulting in the development of bedsores in the patient. However, while considering the hospital's appeal against the State Commission's order, the Apex Consumer Court observed that the patient, who had diabetes for the past several years and hypertension for 40 years, was in a critical health condition and was admitted after having suffered three strokes, cardiac problems.
