Agrawal (President) and Dr S.M. Kantikar (Member) upheld the decision of State Commission with respect to compensation of Rs 8 lakhs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The complainant (referred to as the patient) during pregnancy was under Antenatal care of Dr Vartika Mishra (OP). It was alleged that the OP conducted her forceps delivery, which resulted in 4<sup>th<\/sup> degree tear in the perineum (area between the vaginal canal and anus), further, the OP stitched the skin only, without muscle repairs, hence the patient lost her control over passing the urine and stool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thereafter, the complainant consulted another doctor who diagnosed \u2018poor tone\u2019 and \u2018very poor anal squeeze\u2019. Later the patient consulted various doctors but did not get full recovery in fact the patient was deprived of marital happiness for 2 years and lost her chance for normal delivery in future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On being aggrieved, the Consumer complaint was filed before the State Commission and claimed Rs 35 lakhs as compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">State Commission partly allowed the complaint and directed the OP to pay a sum of Rs 8,00,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being aggrieved with the above, an instant first appeal was filed.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Analysis and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commission held that there was negligence during outlet forceps delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to the above, there was a failure of duty of care during post-delivery period and medical record of the OP including Dr Abha Singh failed to convince the Commission about proper post-partum care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201c\u2026the patient was complaining repeatedly about pain in the suture site but both the doctors have simply prescribed medicines, but ignored or not carefully examined the suture site for induration or infection, surprisingly advised to use \u2018coconut oil with kapoor\u2019 for about 6 months.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coram noted that the patient was a young woman and in primi gravida (first pregnancy).

Also, she did not get post-partum care as per accepted reasonable standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, State Commission\u2019s order was affirmed. [ Dr Vartika Mishra v.
