NCDRC Upholds Rs. 10 Lakh Compensation To Diabetes Patient Whose Fingers Were Amputated After Hospital Tied Her To Bed Overnight

Live Law  

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission on Friday upheld the order of Delhi State Commission awarding Rs. 10 Lakhs compensation to a diabetes patient whose fingers were amputated after the hospital tied her to a bed overnight. The NCDRC noted that in the instant case, the husband of the complainant patient had lost confidence on OP hospital and had taken her to Apollo Hospital after staying in the former for less than 24 hours. The NCDRC took note of the affidavit by the complainant's husband that at the time of discharge, Dr. Sudhir Chhabra at OP hospital did not disclose that the patient was suffering from gangrene because of wrong instructions i.e. The NCDRC noted that on a bare perusal of the findings of Apollo Hospital, it could be inferred that the gangrene developed due to tight tying of the hands, which went unnoticed and unmonitored throughout the night by the ICU staff, and thus amounts to failure of duty of care.
