Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported a case of medical negligence where the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Punjab had held Mohali-based Max Super Specialty Hospital and its surgeon guilty of medical negligence while performing Retrograde Pyelogram (RGP) and Ureteroscopy (URS) surgery upon a patient, whose ureter got damaged in the process. Such a decision was taken by the State Consumer Court as it took note of the fact that the hospital and the surgeon Dr Rai, withheld pre-operative investigations and conservative management record, which was required before the operation. Further, the pre-operative consent had also not been taken by them.
