CHENNAI: The HC has suggested to the Medical Council of India (MCI) to display number of attempts by doctors in examinations in the website and also in the hospital/clinic concerned so that patients would know the doctor’s performance. Justice S Vaidyanathan in support of his observation said some doctors have become commercial brokers having nexus with pharmacists. This court has also come across number of attempts availed of by students undergoing the medical course. Hence, the MCI will have to take a decision and ensure that the number of attempts made by doctors will have to be displayed in the website and also in the hospital/clinic concerned, in order to enable patients to know performance of the doctor as a student, the judge added.

The judge made the observation while dismissing a writ petition from S Srisakthish, a third year student of Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, praying for a directive to the Controller of Examination of the university to issue a fresh marklist by awarding the improved internal assessment marks secured by him in November 2017 examination in Community Medicine as per his representation dated February 15 last.
