One note a month for hospital doctors in India. About consent, records, and what the consumer courts actually decided. Written by a working surgeon, from judgments anyone can read. Nothing to frighten you, and nothing to buy.
Someone forwards a number on a WhatsApp group. A colleague tells you what happened to a doctor in another town. Every time the story is repeated it gets bigger. The real judgments are public and free to read, and almost nobody reads them.
So once a month I read one properly and write down what it means for a hospital that is trying to do the right thing. What the family said. What the record showed. What the court decided. And the two or three lines in the file that would have changed the whole argument.
It is written for surgeons, physicians, hospital owners and quality managers in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. The law is the same everywhere in the country, so it is useful wherever you work.
Five years of judgments, read start to finish. Just over half went against the doctor or the hospital. The second biggest reason was not the operation. It was the way it was written down.
Read the note →Why a signed, printed consent form can still be worth nothing. What the Supreme Court has asked for since 2008. And the mistake with a relative's signature that careful doctors still make.
Read the note →The new data protection rules now have real dates. One in November 2026, the big one in May 2027. And the NMC rule everyone panicked about is not in force at all.
