Advising chemo without tissue diagnosis: NCDRC holds Parel's Tata Memorial Hospital, doctor guilty of medical negligence - Video
|
Overview
Noting that without tissue diagnosis advising chemo was the act of omission, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has held Parel's Tata Memorial Hospital and a doctor guilty of medical negligence, and directed them to pay a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to a female patient.
The patient went through two cycles of chemotherapy after an oncologist diagnosed her as suffering from stage 4 stomach cancer without even verifying the biopsy report. The biopsy report procured subsequently did not detect malignancy.
