|
Overview
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC), Ludhiana recently directed a city-based Hospital and its managing director to pay Rs 3 lakh as compensation for negligence in treating a four-year-old girl. The Commission noted that the doctor did not obtain informed consent from the patient's family and experimented with an excision of the child's cyst casually and negligently which resulted in the rupturing of the Occipital Cranium and fluid started oozing out through the duct.
The history of the case goes back to 2017, when the 4-year-old patient was suffering from headache and her father took her to the Hans Maternity Home where she was checked by Paediatrician Dr. Chakarwarti. From there, the patient was referred to the treating hospital- Singla Hospital. It was alleged by the complainant that the hospital and its managing director Dr. Singla operated upon the patient without conducting any scan, x-ray etc after a telephone discussion with Dr Chakarwarti.
