NCDRC holds no medical negligence while conducting transpedicular screw fixation, exonerates neurosurgeon - Video

Observing that the adopted treatment method was an accepted medical practice, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated a Neurosurgeon and hospital from charges of medical negligence while conducting transpedicular screw fixation between vertebrae on a patient suffering from Osteoporosis.

Referring to the MCI order, which had also exonerated the doctor, the top consumer court noted, "The OP-1 adopted the standard reasonable practice and also followed ethical principles to his professional colleague the anaesthetist, whose mother was operated by OP-1. We haven't expected, but surprised that the patient's son being an anaesthetist, how can raise frivolous allegation that pre anaesthetic check-up was not done. We find the doctors treated the patient reasonably and there was no deficiency or negligence during the treatment."
