Overview
Upholding the State Commission's order, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has held a Ludhiana-based hospital, its oncology surgeon, and pathologists at a medical college liable for medical negligence, over the performance of a radical facial cancer surgery on a patient without a confirmed diagnosis.
The case goes back to 2014 when the patient, a dentist by profession, noticed a small lesion on her right cheek. She underwent an excision biopsy at Mediways Hospital, Ludhiana, during which a small tissue sample was removed for examination. The biopsy specimen was sent to Dayanand Medical College (DMC) for histopathological analysis.
