Overview

Holding an allopathic doctor negligent for prescribing Ayurvedic Medicine, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC), South II, recently directed him to pay compensation to the father of a minor patient, who died from fever, stomach pain, and respiratory distress.

"...OP-1 (the doctor) had prescribed Ayurvedic Medicine for which he was not qualified. Hence, we find OP-1 negligent to this extent," the consumer court observed in the order.

The history of the case goes back to 2010 when the complainant's son who was suffering from a low fever and pain in the abdomen, was taken to the treating hospital run by the treating doctor (OP-1) for treatment.
