NCDRC slaps Rs 2 lakh compensation on Gurugram Hospital

Holding that not showing the pacemaker to the patient's attendant before implantation constitutes 'deficiency', the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) directed a Gurgaon-based Paras hospital to pay compensation to a man who accused the hospital of deficiency in service while providing treatment to his wife. While the patient was undergoing treatment at the hospital, the treating doctor implanted a CRT-D pacemaker device.
