When a surgery goes wrong, the patient or family may be left with pain, infection, repeat surgery, prolonged ICU stay, disability, unexpected expenses or even death. In that situation, the first question is usually: was it medical negligence, a known complication or an unavoidable medical outcome? That question cannot be [...]
A patient may undergo surgery, ICU treatment, delivery, diagnostic procedure or other hospital treatment expecting recovery. But sometimes the result may be unexpected: infection, bleeding, organ injury, nerve injury, vision loss, worsening condition, repeat surgery, disability or death. In such situations, families often ask whether it is medical negligence or [...]
Medical records are often the most important documents after hospital treatment, surgery, ICU admission, death, insurance rejection or suspected medical negligence. Without proper records, a patient or family may not be able to understand what treatment was given, why a complication occurred, whether billing was proper or whether further legal [...]

At the same time, hospitals cannot ignore their duty to maintain and provide proper medical records. The NCDRC decision in Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences v. Rajendra Nath Keserwani & Anr. is [...]
Medical treatment does not always produce the expected result. A patient’s condition may worsen despite proper diagnosis, accepted treatment and reasonable medical care.

A medical-negligence complaint becomes legally sustainable when the records and evidence indicate [...]
