Complainant had stated that his wife (hereinafter referred to as the Patient), admitted in the opposite party-Hospital and delivered two children in the same Hospital, was admitted for delivery in the opposite party-Hospital on 22.5.1997 and gave birth to a male child through cesarean section. Since there was infection in the uterus, this was also removed.
.
After 10 days of the surgery, Patient experienced acute stomach pain and she visited the opposite party-Hospital number of times and also paid fees for the same but the problems persisted. On 25.2.1998 when the pain became unbearable, Patient was admitted to the opposite party-Hospital where Doctors asked her to undergo ultrasound and x-rays at Apollo X-Ray Centre, Roop Nagar, Delhi and also at Anant Imaging Centre at Ashok Vihar, Delhi. However, the disease could not be diagnosed and, therefore, Patient was advised to undergo a surgery in the opposite party-Hospital. Although she was prepared for the same, the concerned Doctor declined the surgery on the ground that his mother was unwell. Patient continued her treatment as advised by the OP-Hospital and spent approximately Rs. 2.00 lakh, which she paid to opposite party -Hospital, and also Rs. 50,000 on the x-rays and other diagnostic tests as per the advice of the Doctors in the opposite party -Hospital.
.
On 9.5.1998 Complainant was told that his wife had Australia Antigen and he was advised by opposite party-Hospital to get his wife admitted in some other hospital for treatment. She was, accordingly, admitted in Bara Hindu Rao Hospital where after undergoing tests Doctors conducted a surgery during which a sponge like specimen and a tag in the stomach of the Patient were removed. Patient died on 26.5.1998.
During the pendency of the complaint before the State Commission, the Investigating Officer, dealing with the criminal case instituted by the Complainant against the opposite party-Hospital, requested State Commission for setting up of a Medical Board for expert opinion, which was set up vide orders of the Government of NCT of Delhi and its opinion made available to the State Commission and which inter alia concluded that the presence of the foreign objects was responsible for Patient’s medical problems and subsequent death.
.
The State Commission after considering the evidence on record, including the opinion of the Medical Board concluded that there was a clear case of medical negligence on the part of opposite party-Hospital since a foreign body like sponge tag was left in the abdomen of the Patient during the surgery on 22.5.1997 at opposite party-Hospital.
.
The National Commission confirmed the Medical Negligence.
