Court in view of the overwhelming evidence in favour of the complainant, holds that the Dr Sudesh Sharma has dealt complainant in the most reckless and negligent manner and for deficiency of service for which the complainant made payments as demanded by him.

According to the case the complainant had an accident and was admitted in the Emergency Ward of GMC Jammu for treatment of fracture Left Femur (LF) on 15/1/2004. The respondent was HOD of Orthopedic Unit in the GMC Hospital to which he was shifted on 16/1/2004 from Emergency ward but instead of immediately operating the complainant, he was allegedly told by respondent and his henchmen in the staff that his turn for operation was likely to come after 40 days or so. He remained under treatment of respondent from January 2004 to July 2005 but he had sustained pain at the LF. However on rechecking, respondent told the complainant that due to 'non-union of fractured bones' he will have to undergo another surgery for bone grafting etc. He sought second opinion of Dr.Vikrant Sharma, another Ortho-specialist in GMC on 21/6/2005 who suggested a second bone graft surgery. Meanwhile complainant again approached respondent who advised ORIF and Bone Grafting due to non-union of bone. (JNF)   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
