Abstract

Medical Negligence is on rise and has become a problematic issue. Large number of such cases is coming to the court seeking redressal of their grievance. Today doctors are money minded and they keep dragging the patient admission in the hospital for as many days as they can to make money as much as they can. Doctor patient relationship of trust, faith has undergone a deep change. It has become a common practice, even if there is an emergency case the hospital first ask a certain amount of money to be deposited with the hospital to even start examining the patient otherwise they don't even bother to provide first aid to the patient. Further, adding to this is the bad treatment or doing treatment of some other problem not the one which is to be treated, aggravates the problem not only for the patient but for all those who are related to him. There are circumstances when the patient is treated for something else and when his condition detiorates he is discharged by the doctor on account of lack of equipments and the patient is referred to some other hospital. In this context this paper will discuss various laws dealing with medical negligence and the rights and remedies available therein.

医疗过失——1986年《消费者保护法》下的服务缺陷
医疗过失呈上升趋势,已成为一个问题。大量这类案件正在向法院寻求赔偿。今天的医生都是金钱至上的,为了尽可能多地赚钱,他们在医院里尽可能多地拖延病人的入院时间。医患关系的信任、信念发生了深刻的变化。这已经成为一种常见的做法,即使有紧急情况,医院首先要求一定数量的钱存入医院,甚至开始检查病人,否则他们甚至懒得为病人提供急救。此外,糟糕的治疗或对其他问题进行治疗而不是对该治疗的问题进行治疗,不仅对病人而且对所有与他有关的人都加重了问题。在某些情况下,病人因其他原因接受治疗,当他的病情恶化时,由于缺乏设备,他被医生出院,病人被转介到其他医院。在此背景下,本文将讨论处理医疗过失的各种法律以及其中的权利和补救措施。
