In UK pattern is uniform for all doctors with standard consent forms and information for patients about the various conditions and surgeries. Explaining when they should contact their doctor following treatment for any complication. The failure rate, complications, success rates are also documented in those forms. The next step should be for this body to collaborate with the lawmakers to formulate what does and what does not constitute negligence. There should be separate lectures countrywide during PG courses and CME to educate the doctor and propagate this information through a website.
All doctors should contribute towards the expense to develop such a body in India. The lawmakers will be better informed about medicine and vice-versa. The results will be seen and unfair judgments reduce. Eg why a 22-week baby could not survive and so on. Share your views
