Medical Negligence Needs Solid Proof, Not Just Dissatisfaction: Delhi HC Rejects Man’s Plea Over Wife’s Death

The Delhi High Court rejected a man’s plea seeking action against doctors over his wife’s death and said medical negligence was not merely established by dissatisfaction towards an expected standard of care. Justice Sanjeev Narula, in his December 20 verdict, said doctors should not be constrained either by the expectations or timelines set by the patient’s family.
