The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has directed a Rajasthan-based hospital and its ENT specialist to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation to a patient, who suffered a brain injury after undergoing an endoscopic nasal polyp surgery.
The Commission held that before conducting the surgery, the doctor and the hospital should have insisted on conducting a CT scan.
The history of the case goes back to 2010 when the complainant/patient was suffering from nasal problems, including discharge and obstruction, and underwent endoscopic nasal polyp surgery performed by an ENT specialist at a Udaipur-based hospital.
