Hosp to pay 3L to knee-op patient
Kolkata: A hospital on the northern fringes of the city agreed to pay Rs 3 lakh to a man who developed complications after a ligament reconstruction surgery at the facility, on humanitarian grounds. A complaint was lodged with West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission, but the panel did not find negligence on the part of the hospital. According to the complaint, Krishna Kumar Roy from Sodepur, who plays cricket for Eastern Railway, sustained a knee injury during a match last Oct. He was taken to Joint & Brain Care Clinic (JBCC) where he underwent a procedure. He suffered extreme pain after the surgery, for which the hospital gave him conservative treatment. On seeing no improvement in three months, the family went to Vellore where Roy had two surgeries. His parents approached the panel seeking compensation from JBCC, saying they incurred huge expenditure in Vellore.
