I recently underwent a minor surgery at a well-known hospital in Mysore. Unfortunately, something went wrong during the procedure, resulting in permanent damage. I’m constantly in pain and it’s affecting my daily life. Can I hold the doctor and the hospital accountable for this? Who should I contact to file a complaint? What should I keep in mind while making the complaint? I’m a 32-year-old engineer with a family to support.

My newborn daughter passed away after 14 days due to Trisomy 18, a condition diagnosed after birth. A hospital test during my 15th week of pregnancy showed negative for this condition. I’m heartbroken and want to seek justice for this misdiagnosis, which led to unnecessary treatment and immense emotional and financial burden. I spent close to a lakh on my daughter’s care and pregnancy. Can you advise me on how to proceed with legal action against the hospital?

My grandmother passed away in 2013 due to a medical error. I wrote to the hospital in 2014, seeking an explanation, but received no response. Is it too late to pursue this further? What are the next steps if I can still take action?

For 12 years, I’ve been struggling with the consequences of a medical procedure that went wrong. I’ve taken my case to the State Commission, the National Commission, and even the Supreme Court, but they all dismissed it, saying there was no negligence. My health is now worse than ever, and I’m worried about the long-term effects. Can I reopen my case with new evidence that connects my current health issues to the earlier operation?

My mother had a hysterectomy a month ago, but they removed her uterus without any prior tests. This led to her being diagnosed with cancer, and now her right ovary is missing. What legal action can I take against the hospital for this faulty surgery and the removal of an organ without her consent?

My sister had a Cesarean delivery on the morning of August 29th. That evening, she started feeling restless and in pain. She underwent another surgery, but things took a turn for the worse, leading to multiple organ failure. Sadly, she passed away on September 1st. The doctors mentioned a possible case of HELLP syndrome, which they said is rare. However, we’re unsure and worried about potential negligence during the surgery. What steps can we take to find out the real cause of her death?

A loved one with advanced cancer in a large private hospital is facing severe complications and no hope of recovery. Despite this, the doctors continue expensive treatments and tests, even though they know it won’t help. The family can’t afford this, and they worry the doctors are prolonging suffering just to make money. What should they do?

My 3-month-old son underwent circumcision on June 11th by an MBBS MS surgeon. He used a surgical procedure and applied 7-8 stitches, but didn’t inform us about them before or after. We only found out two days later from the nurse. When we asked the doctor why he hadn’t explained this, he said, “This is a surgical procedure, not a simple barber’s cut. Stitches are necessary and they’ll dissolve on their own.” Can I take legal action against the doctor and how should I proceed?

My son, born at full term, was a healthy, big baby. Just minutes before my planned C-section, his heartbeat was strong. However, during the surgery, I was told he had severe birth asphyxia and was born with no heartbeat. He also suffered seizures and other complications. Doctors said I had a feto-maternal hemorrhage. Ten days before delivery, my sonography report was excellent, but the hospital later claimed they misplaced it. Even my obstetrician is baffled by what happened. How could this have occurred when everything seemed fine just moments before?

My wife has been diagnosed with a mental health condition, but the doctors haven’t shared the details with me. Her behavior has become unpredictable and aggressive, causing distress to both our children and me. She frequently loses her temper and engages in arguments for days on end. The situation at home is becoming increasingly unbearable, impacting our mental well-being. Is there a legal way to protect myself and my children from this situation? Could I file a case that would require her admission to a mental health facility until she stabilizes? What laws can help us live peacefully? Are there provisions for protecting men and children in such situations?
