Can a provision be asked for whereby the Medical Board formed as per Jacob Mathew guidelines be asked to specify whether the alleged act of the medical professional is

1) Misdemeanor; a minor wrongdoing.

2) Misadventure; harm or death caused by a person accidentally while performing a legal act without negligence or intent to harm.

3) Misconduct; Culpable neglect of duties, unacceptable behaviour

4) Error of judgement; wrong or a bad decision though used reasonable skills and had the necessary training to make decisions consistent with professional standards

5) Negligence ; Omission to take ordinary care resulting in harm / death.

6) Gross Negligence (Criminal); accused with a guilty mind (mens rea) has run the risk of doing an act with recklessness and indifference to the consequences which in all likelihood were going to happen.
