Referring a patient to Higher Centre is not the Medical Negligence<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s in the interest of Patients that Doctors. Should not be dragged to the Court unnecessarily”” – National Commission observed while dismissing the Complaint for damages of Rs.2.5 Crores as it prevents Doctors from discharging their duty to a suffering person who needs their assistance.<\/p>\n
Case: SUMAN TANEJA V\/s. METRO HOSPITAL & HEART INSTITUTE & 3 ORS, decided on 02\/02\/2016.<\/p>\n
Referring a patient to Higher Centre is not the Medical Negligence<\/p>\n
Factual Matrix in nutshell:<\/p>\n
\u201cDoctors in complicated cases have to take chance even if the rate of survival is low. A doctor faced with an emergency ordinarily tries his best to redeem the patient out of his suffering. He does not gain anything by acting with negligence or by omitting to do an act,\u201d This case throws light upon the increased tendency of filing false cases against Doctors. As there is no counter-liability attached or there is no need to pay any Court-fee for filing consumer complaint, frivolous cases are increasing and overshadowing genuine cases. Unless & until Medicos get untied and file counter-blast cases for, damages, such cases will go on… Every time figure of damages will add “0” (zeros).<\/p>\n
Referring a patient to Higher Centre is not the Medical Negligence<\/p>\n
