It was a dereliction of duty of care,&#8221; the bench, also comprising member S M Kantikar, said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the father of the child, the USG, which is conducted to examine the well-being of a foetus, was not done properly and alleged that the medical practitioners gave report, saying &#8220;no abnormal findings&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The complainant alleged that both the radiologists, due to their casual approach, negligence and lack of care towards the patient, gave wrong reports at two occasions, which resulted in serious consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital and its doctors, however, denied negligence and claimed before the commission that as the foetus was lying on its side, with upper limbs tucked underneath, it was impossible to see that any limb was missing nor was there any reason to assume or suspect so.<\/p>\n<p>After perusing the medical reports, the bench observed that &#8220;the foetal USG is the most important tool to provide prenatal diagnosis of foetal anomalies&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Had the anomaly been detected the parents would have been referred to a tertiary foetal medicine unit for further investigations which would have revealed the presence of other anomalies in addition to the abnormalities of foetal limbs. The existence of two serious anomalies would have resulted in the pregnancy being terminated,&#8221; the commission said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The doctor is bound by ethical obligations to examine patient thoroughly with all his competence.
