Woman Sharada Doddamani Receives Wrong-Group Blood at Vijayapura Hospital
Several factors are considered while awarding compensation in acts of medical negligence. The extent of liability of the treating doctor or hospital is one such aspect that was considered in this case.
Jarnail Singh suffered severe pain in upper abdomen and back. Dr. Shergill diagnosed stones in gall bladder, performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy and discharged him after four days.
Ankit, a playful nine year old boy, injured his left eye with a pencil. He was taken to an eye hospital by his parents where a surgery was performed to remove the contents of pencil from the eye.
Non complying patients perhaps have a unique trait. They not only ignore the advice of doctors but also blame them for any untoward outcome as a result of their own non-compliance. This story is one of the several examples of such cases.
So many patients these days are resorting to arm twisting tactics. Most of such unfortunate incidents are due to their ignorance, as is observed by honourable Consumer Commission in this case.
Unpredictable complications are part of modern medicine. While it is natural to feel dearly for the loss of a loved one, it is unfair to blame and sue the doctors for such complications.
This is one of a bizarre and shocking incidents. The patient accidently shot himself between thumb and index finger and on left side of the chest while moving his luggage. He was rushed to the hospital where simple first aid was given. Precious hours were wasted before referring him to another hospital for the want of a cardiothoracic surgeon!
Mansi suffered from excruciating pain in the abdomen. She was advised by Dr. Sharma to get ultrasound test done. He also prescribed some medicines.
