Medical Dialogues had recently reported about another case where National Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum has dismissed the complaint on the ground of that there was no negligence on the part of the doctor in providing treatment to a patient during delivery.
The patient underwent a normal delivery and gave birth to a male child. However, the placenta did not come out so the doctor first administered an injection and the Treating Doctor then pressed the stomach of the Patient with great force and only on account of the excessive pressure administered, that the placenta along-with uterus had come out.
