An accidental injury while administering injection caused quite a stir in the life of a doctor recently.                                                                                                                   

Cases of doctors starting the treatment without confirming diagnoses are surfacing at a worrying regularity. In most such cases, if not all, the treating doctors / hospitals are held guilty which also makes headlines. Yet, the reason for this rising trend is as baffling as this case.

Bimalendu, a senior citizen, had a problem of urine retention and inguinal hernia. He approached Renaissance Hospital where Dr. Srivastava performed operation of his prostate and hernia. The patient was discharged after four days.

Road accidents often lead to traumatic experience for the sufferer. Sometimes, even the doctors are not spared of the suffering, as this case shows.

In a case of medical negligence, if the doctor is held negligent but dies before the closure of the case, does the patient get any relief? Do the courts have the right to attach the doctor’s properties to compensate the patient? Read on to know.

Dr. Chaturvedi couldn’t believe his luck as he was held negligent and ordered to compensate the patient with one lakh rupees.

He believed that he had followed due diligence, but the law clearly observed otherwise.

Any product or service under warranty has to be catered to accordingly. Recently a doctor found himself on the wrong side of law for not doing so.
