The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently opined that treating a patient on the basis of telephone advice of a doctor, instead of personally examining him, constitutes negligence in care.

Such observation was made by the Apex Consumer Court while it held a Ranchi-based private hospital and its doctors negligent while providing treatment to a patient suffering from Acute Pancreatitis.
