SC verdict: Rs.5.96 crore compensation awarded to NRI for medical negligence by AMRI Hospital, Kolkata

The tragic story of Anuradha started a month after she reached Kolkata in March 1998 for her summer vacation, when in April, some rashes surfaced on her skin.

She consulted Mukharjee who advised her rest.

However, rashes resurfaced again in early May with far greater intensity. Mukharjee prescribed her two doses of Depomedrol injection every day.

As her condition did not improve, she was admitted to AMRI and subsequently she was shifted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital where she was diagnosed to be suffering from life-threatening disease called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
