medical negligence

a 13 yr old boy gone in for a tonsilitis operation killed due to overdose of anaesthesia. the doctors sentenced for 2 years in prison after some 12 years of the incident. another 82 yr-old retired professor's 40-odd yr old son is killed in another case where doctors couldnt figure out what was wrong, conducted no tests for obvious heart problems, continued with conservative treatment till the death of the patient. the Delhi Medical Council reported "immediate intervention would have yielded better results". a year after the incident, Professor Luthera is battling for justice. it took him a year to get an FIR registered under section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) that too against an unknown person! his time is now spent studying legal journals and fighting unprofessionalism & "its not my problem-i'm not affected-i won't budge an inch-why should i risk my skin" attitude. its sad to even read about it.
