 <\/p>\n

The Supreme Court, on Friday gave its verdict to one of the most ineffable cases in medical history. The convict, Riyazuddin who killed a pregnant woman in 2006 in a botched up surgery claims that he is not a doctor but in fact, a compounder of the hospital.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Qualifications of a doctor but alleges to be a compounder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I was only a compounder and assisted the doctors in the operation\u2019\u2019, claims the convict.<\/p>\n

There were two other female doctors handling the surgery. According to Riyazuddin, \u2018\u2019the doctors have been let off and I have been sentenced\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

The deceased, Sushmita died due to a hemorrhagic shock caused by a \u2018\u2019gross negligent\u2019\u2019 surgical intervention.<\/p>\n

Riyazuddin prescribed an ultrasound for Sushmita but alleges to be a compounder in Court. He challenged the Delhi High Court which held him guilty under the charge of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.<\/p>\n

Dubious claims rejected by Court<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bench dismissed his pleas, observing that;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Once a patient is inside the operation theatre, nobody knows what is happening inside, as family members are not granted access during surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Why did he work as a compounder in a private clinic when he had the qualifications of a doctor?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      3.\u00a0If he really wasn\u2019t a doctor, why did he not profess who among the doctors had conducted the surgery.<\/p>\n

      7 years of jail inadequate for homicide<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The Supreme Court declared that everyone can be deemed responsible for a mishap once the doors of an operation theatre are closed.<\/p>\n

      \u2018\u2019 The question is about a human life. You should in fact consider yourself lucky you are getting jailed only for seven years.\u2019\u2019, the Bench asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
