HC offers no relief for medical negligence
CHENNAI, APRIL 06, 2019 00:00 IST
The Madras High Court has refused to quash a criminal case booked against three doctors, including the owner of a hospital situated within Tondiarpet police station limits in Chennai, and two obstetricians, for having reportedly left behind a cotton swab inside the abdomen of a woman during a cesarean section-cum-sterilisation procedure.
Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan dismissed the quash petitions filed by the doctors Rajendran, P. Shanthi and P. Vasantha and said that there were sufficient materials to prosecute them for the charge of having negligently left behind a foreign body, inside the abdomen, which had to be removed through another surgery.
The judge pointed out that the wife of the complainant, T. Mahesh, had to suffer abdominal sepsis due to the presence of the foreign body.
