No signed consent, no records: Punjab doctor, Hospital ordered to pay Rs 22 lakh for medical negligence
Holding a Muktsar-based doctor and hospital guilty of medical negligence, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) in Faridkot recently directed them to pay Rs 22 lakh compensation to a patient, who lost career opportunities abroad due to the negligent treatment.
The Commission bench comprising President Rakesh Kumar Singla and member Param Pal Kaur on July 23 directed the Laparoscopic & General Surgeon, his Hospital and Oriental Insurance Company Limited to comply with the order within 45 days.
The Court found that the doctor and hospital failed to maintain proper records, did not provide a discharge summary, and conducted the surgery without a signed consent form. The ultrasound report justifying the procedure was also not properly documented.
The complaint in this regard was filed by the complainant, who hails from Shaheed Balwinder Singh Nagar in Faridkot town, back on February 10, 2021.

The results of the internal examination, which tests students' preparations before the final exam, have left the administration in shock. The failure of so many students at once has raised a question mark on the quality of medical education.
While all of these 104 students failed in the subject of Physiology, 70 students have failed in Biochemistry, and 35 students have failed in Anatomy. The results revealed that 83 out of the 125 students have failed in all three subjects, Dainik Bhaskar has reported.
As per the latest media report by News 18, some of the students scored less than 25 out of 100 marks in Physiology.
This is the first time that the performance of AIIMS Gorakhpur students has been found to be so poor in the internal exams. Sources informed Dainik Bhaskar that the students are suffering due to the scuffle inside the Physiology department. Meanwhile, taking note of the situation, the AIIMS administration has started the studies of the students with full force. For this, the internal exam was conducted once again on Tuesday night and along with the students, the doctors were also called from their homes. In this exam, the students were also told the answers to the questions.
