“We do not conclude that this is a case of medical negligence as alleged. The complaints did not deny that Neha Kumari had been suffering from illnesses since birth and that she underwent surgery when she was just four years old. Upon detailed examination, it was found that Neha Kumari had several complex congenital problems of kiphoscoliotic deformity with weakness and wasting of the right upper limbs and (i) complex khyphoscoliotic deformity of the middle dorsal spine with hemivertibres of the spine D and D6 and spinal bifida of the D and D7 vertebrae. The submission of the complaint was delayed and no sufficient reason to convince the Commission was presented. NON-MEDICAL/ADULT UPDATE: As of May 27, 2022, 19 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia have adopted measures to regulate cannabis for non-medical purposes for adults. Voluntary compensation to doctors and hospitals is not appropriate. The decision of the Punjab State Supreme Court v. Shiv Ram and Ors., IV (2005) CPJ 14 (SC) on a complaint alleging that an unsuccessful family planning operation failed due to a doctor`s negligence due to a doctor`s negligence can be called an important step for many reasons. First, the Supreme Court ruled that doctors and hospitals should not be burdened with harm unless they are found to be negligent. The Apex tribunal found that it was not appropriate to award voluntary compensation to doctors and hospitals without finding negligence.
The court also found that the establishment of a social protection fund or insurance system was necessary. The failure of successful sterilization is due to causes other than medical negligence, and the state government should consider developing and meeting with a welfare fund or working with insurance companies. If a patient does not provide a proper medical history, the physician cannot be held responsible for the consequences. In S. Tiwari v. Dr. Pranav 1(1996) CPJ 301 (NC), it was asserted that a tooth had been extracted without proper testing. When the bleeding continued, the doctor administered an analgesic. Although the patient had a blood pressure of 130/90, he did not give the doctor his proper medical history. The National Commission upheld the findings of the State Commission and dismissed the complaint on the grounds that the patient had not provided a correct medical history and follow-up if necessary.
In Indian Medical Association v. V.P. Shanta and Ors., III (1995) CPJ 1 (SC), the Supreme Court finally ruled on the issue of coverage for the medical profession under the Consumer Protection Act 1986, thus dispelling any ambiguity on this subject. With this historic decision, doctors and hospitals have realized that as long as they pay patients, all patients are consumers, even if the treatment is free. Although the aforementioned Apex court decision acknowledges that a small percentage of patients may not respond to treatment, the medical literature speaks of such errors despite all the proper care and treatment provided by doctors and hospitals. The failure of family planning measures is a classic example. The Apex Tribunal is not in favour of imposing voluntary premiums on physicians. Similarly, in some landmark decisions of the National Commission dealing with deaths in hospital, the National Commission has recognized the possibility of death in hospital, although there was no negligence. In late August 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an update to its marijuana enforcement policy.
The statement states that while cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, the USDOJ expects states like Colorado and Washington “to make strong law enforcement efforts. and postpone the right to challenge their legalization laws at that time. The Ministry also reserves the right to challenge states at any time if they deem it necessary. The ABA has established a national support centre to further expand the reach of this exciting model of legal service delivery. In particular, the need for significant involvement of the private bar association in support of the medical-legal partnership model is seen as critical to the growth of these projects across the country. As the success of the program gained national attention, programs like this one began to emerge across the country. In Boston and elsewhere, there has been a lot of innovation, creativity and strengthening relationships between legal departments and pro bono programs, hospitals, law firms, health centers and foundations. Working with some of the UK`s leading medical negligence law firms, we have transformed the medical negligence marketing landscape, providing our law firms with leading service and return on investment. The main objective of the ABA MLP project is to increase the capacity of health facilities to deal with legal issues that harm health by increasing the availability of volunteer lawyers. In addition, the ABA MLP project works with national medical and legal organisations to promote the MLP model through policies and initiatives. In collaboration with the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership, the American Medical Association (AMA) led to the adoption of a policy to support the MLP model.
* = Measures approved by voters in Mississippi for medical purposes and South Dakota for non-medical purposes were lifted in 2021. The Mississippi legislature passed a new medical cannabis law, which the governor signed into law in February.
