The complainant, Kanav Chopra, complained of severe headache in November, 2006, when he was nine-year-old. He was examined by a doctor in Sirhind, who advised him to go for an MRI. On January 13, 2007, the MRI was got done at Suparb MRI and CT Scan Centre and as per report, everything was normal.
Following which the family approached Grewal Eye Institute, Sector 9, Chandigarh, for some other tests, but on January 16, Kanav complained of loss of eye sight to a certain extent.
On January 19, the doctors at Grewal Eye Institute stated that the medicine they had prescribed had no side-effects.
Due to the negligence of Suparb MRI and CT Scan Centre, the left eye optic nerve of the complainant had damaged, and it could not be treated.
The complainant said on February 5, when he took his son for the second MRI scan, the doctor at the Suparb MRI and CT Scan Centre asked him to bring the medical report of the first MRI.
The doctor then made some corrections and returned the same.
Directing the centre to pay Rs 20 lakh to the complainant, the commission comprising Justice Sham Sunder, president, and members Neena Sandhu and Jagroop Singh observed that it had given a wrong medical report in the case.
Had the centre given a correct report, eye sight of the complainant could be saved.
Thus, due to the sheer negligence, the bright career of the complainant, was ruined.
