Finally something for the
doctors...
Dr Ramesh Ganesan asked a medico
legal question.
DO
NOT IGNORE.
"DOCTORS VS JUDGES":
Judiciary should also come under
CPA (Consumer Protection Act).
"Every body must READ and
SHARE this article.
--In the Salman Khan hit and run case the LOWER court judge and the HIGH court
judge had the SAME pieces of EVIDENCE to deal with.
--They
also had the SAME Indian LAW to abide by and most probably they had similar
education qualifications too.
--Yet
they INTERPRETED the situation in absolutely CONTRASTING manner and gave
verdicts which are poles apart.
--Just
imagine what would have happened if a YOUNG doctor sitting in a GOVERNMENT
hospital catering to hundreds of patients in a day had diagnosed a
celebrity patient presenting with gastric discomfort as GASTRITIS and another
hospital had LATER on diagnosed that patient to be having a MYOCARDIAL
INFARCTION. I am sure that doctor would have been screwed and jailed.
--A
JUDGE gets YEARS to decide on a case
unlike a DOCTOR who is expected to diagnose and treat everything in the BLINK
of an eye.
--If
a doctor making a wrong diagnosis can be prosecuted shouldn't a judge giving
wrong verdicts meet the same fate?
--If
hospitals can be sued for not admitting poor patients shouldn't the courts be
prosecuted for having lacs of impending cases?
--Is
it not appalling that a judge taking 12 years to give a wrong verdict gets away
unhurt and a doctor making one mistake is screwed by our legal system?
--Doctors
practice medicine which is more of an art than an exact science whereas law is
absolutely 100% manmade, yet doctors are expected to be right on all occasions.
--If
doctors and hospitals have a duty towards the society then does the judiciary
not have a responsibility towards the socitey.
--If
there is so much of hue and cry in media about doctors and hospitals charging
huge sums from patients then why do we not ever hear a word on the fee that
lawyers like Manu singhvi and Jethmalani charge for their court appearances.
--Government
often talks about putting a capping on the fees doctors charge for various
procedures but their is no talk of putting a capping on the fee that these
lawyers charge to get justice for their clients.
--If
health is a citizen's right then so is justice. Shall we take our minds off
worshipping false heroes & think?
***JUDICIARY SHOULD ALSO COME
UNDER CPA (CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT)***
