Whopping Compensation of Rs1 Cr. for Medical Negligence

In a landmark judgment the Supreme Court of India has directed Nizam’s Institute of Medical Science, Hyderabad to pay Rs one crore or INR 10 millions for carrying out wrong surgery on Mr. Prasant S Dhananka decades ago. Mr. Dhananka underwent an operation that turned him paralyzed for life at the age of 19. It is only his spirit of perseverance that he fought the compensation case for more than 15 years and finally got the order from the Supreme Course. Though earlier he was awarded compensation of Rs 15 lakh by National Consumer Court but he decided to proceed further claiming compensation amount Rs 7 crores. The Supreme Court fixed the amount of compensation of Rs 1 Crore, first time ever in the history of consumer compensation in India. In fact amount of compensation is reached, in case of medical negligence, considering the age, potentiality and value of lost opportunities in victim’s life. But the Supreme Court in year 2000 expressed its views while giving verdict in “Charan Singh Vs Healing Touch’ case, that the compensation amount should bring the errant service providing hospitals in senses.
In India the cases alike Prasant are rampant, very few can afford to seek the judgment from court of law. Imagine the plight of them as his, having lost the most vital period of life; can any amount truly compensate their losses? Those who venture; they are harassed by the hospitals to such an extent in Indian legal system that most of the cases are dropped. It is equally difficult to get evidence against the errant doctors; because eventually that has to be drawn from the people of same profession. Filing compensation case before consumer court for medical negligence requires written statement from specialist doctors. It is a far cry, since the government has failed to create a panel of independent and impartial doctors to do such jobs. Given the existing situations in our irresponsible medical service, with little hope of getting justice or compensation, the chaos and devastation carried out by frustrated public in hospitals time and again is but natural!

A Joke "you know your client better than I do!"

Here goes a joke, that I received just a short while ago from my friend Arun; I think I share it with my readers;


An Officer stops a driver for running a red light.

The guy is a real jerk and comes running back to the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo!

So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation..

The driver instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit terms.

The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.

When he gets done with writing the ticket, he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket.

He then hands it to the "Violator" for his signature.

The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.

The Mountie says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're an Ass..ole!"

Two months later they're in court.

The "Violator" has such a bad driving record he is about to lose his licence and has hired a top attorney to represent him.

On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.

Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; "Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket you issued my client?"

Officer responds, "Yes sir, that is the defendants copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top."

Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you don't normally make?"

Officer: "Yes sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined."

Lawyer: "What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"

Officer: "Aggressive and Hostile, Sir."

Lawyer: "Aggressive and Hostile?"

Officer: "Yes Sir!"

Lawyer: "Officer, Are you sure it doesn't stand for 'As..hole'?"

Officer: "Well Sir, you know your client better than I do!"
