Your Rights Against Doctors (3) Doctors not liable for Patients body responding differently

Standard
Human body is complex. There can be different strength in different organs of body, depending on age, weight, temperament and other conditions.

Even if diagnosis may be right, dose may be right, even then it is possible that some patients do not show improvement.

The doctors are not liable for such factors.

Your Rights Against Doctors (2) Incorrect diagnosis does not make doctor liable

Standard
Doctors are human beings. They can make mistakes. They can make incorrect diagnosis. But that by itself does not make a Doctor liable in courts.

For example, for VERTIGO, there are more than 400 causes. It is possible for a doctor to err about the cause.

These are “Error of Judgement”.

PRINCIPLE

Negligence or deficiency in service is something more than a mere error of Judgement. Persons react differently to any given situation. A person cannot be made liable for Errors of Judgement.
