C.P.Sreekumar M.S (Ortho) vs S.Ramanujam on 1 May, 2009
In C.P. Sreekumar (DR.) MS
(Ortho) Vs. S. Ramanujam [(2009) 7 SCC 130], the Supreme Court held that bald
statement of the complainant cannot be accepted to reach conclusion that the
Doctor lacked expertise. It is observed
that too much suspicion about the negligence of the attending Doctors and
frequent interference by courts could be a dangerous proposition as it would
prevent Doctors from taking decision which could result in complications and in
such a situation the patient will be the ultimate sufferer.
