Bhopal: On account of violating the MCI code of ethics, the Madhya Pradesh State Medical Council and National Medical Commission (NMC) have recently taken stringent action against two doctors. Besides, one doctor has received a warning from the medical council.
While the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council has suspended the registration of a doctor from the State Medical Register for six months till February 10, 2022, in a negligence case, the NMC has recommended suspension of a doctor over non-registration with the state Medical Council before practising in the state and exaggerating qualifications.
Case 1: Botched operation, claim of being a Gynaecologist
The first case is connected with an incident of medical negligence. As per a recent media report by Jagran, Commissioner Medical Education Madhya Pradesh, and ex-officio President Madhya Pradesh Medical Council, Bhopal stated that the doctor conducted surgery on a pregnant patient but committed negligence during the operation. The accused doctor allegedly portrayed himself as a Gynecologist, Obstetrics, and Infertility specialist on his prescriptions and pamphlets.
Moreover, the State Medical Council has issued a warning to another doctor, who is reportedly attached to Prime Hospital, Gwalior. The doctor has been directed to provide a patient's medical documents to the patient or his attendants within 72 hours. Following the complaint in one of the cases, the doctor has been referred to the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations 2002, Para No. 1.3.2 which deals with the said norm.
Along with this, instructions have also been given to add the above warning as a remark in the registration of the doctor.
