[Speaker 1]: I understand that I am the hospital owner, it is under my control, the quality of the staff. Supposing if a third party hospital where I am attached, where I am honorary, then still the liability comes to me or liability comes under the superintendent?
[Speaker 2]: No, it is going to be on a hospital because RMO was appointed under hospital care and a hospital owner has appointed RMO who takes care of every aspect of that. So liability first is going to go on them but you are going to become a party because you are the treating doctor in that scenario. So if you remember the case of Govandi where a injection given by the staff in a quarrel between two nurses, a one patient injection was given to Bachu and Bachu died and RMO was on duty but he was not there. The court has held this RMO also liable because in his presence injection must be given and he was not there. So in such cases hospital and RMO become liable because you are not directly related in that. But being a treating doctor, definitely if they could able to prove some neglect on part of yours, you become a party to that.
