Did Doctors Do the Right thing? What do you think

[hydKaSher]

 

HYDERABAD: Taking suo motu cognizance of the controversial height gain surgery performed on a 23-year-old city-based techie Nikhil Reddy at Global Hospitals, the Telangana State Medical Council (TSMC) has summoned the doctors involved in the procedure.

In a notice issued by TSMC on Wednesday, they asked the doctors who performed the surgery to appear before its ethics committee on April 20 to explain their stand on what they called an "unusual experimental surgery on a young person".

 

Sources said that the TSMC was forced to take up the case after several members of the medical fraternity raised ethical issues as to why the team led by G Chandra Bhushan, the chief orthopaedic surgeon, agreed to add three inches to Nikhil Reddy's existing height of 5 feet 7 inch, which itself is considered the standard height for Indian males.

"Those who performed the surgery on Nikhil Reddy have been asked to appear before the ethics committee of TSMC to explain why he was selected for the limb-lengthening technique (Ilizarov technique) in the first place as there seems to be no such emergency in the case. (The) 5'7'' (figure) is not short stature," said Dr E Ravindra Reddy, chairman, TSMC.He said that the ethics committee of TSMC would take a final call based on the surgeons' response.

It may be recalled that police traced Nikhil Reddy, a software engineer working for a firm in Banjara Hills, to Global hospitals at Lakdikapul on Wednesday based on his mobile phone call data after his parents lodged a missing complaint with Petbasheerabad police. For the surgery worth Rs 7 lakh, Nikhil paid Rs 3 lakh and made his friend give consent for the procedure.

The Orthopedic Association of South Indian States (OASIS) has also taken cognizance of the case and has constituted a technical committee for an internal probe into the case on three points. First, whether the patient actually needed to undergo the surgery using Ilizarov technique for cosmetic reasons. Second, the technical competence of the surgeon involved and third, to find out whether the surgery was done as per the rule book.

vaadu major...vaadu consent papers sign chesake operation chesam ani defend cheskovachu kaani....

on moral/ethical grounds...it is the responsibility of the doctors to counsel and educate the patient...to discuss pros n cons,post surgical outcome & complications..not only with 

the patient but also with family members..particularity in this type of cases.(as this surgery is not designed for aesthetic purposes....purely intended to perform in special situations 

only) i dont know whether they really did/documented all these points in the patient notes as he had been  consulting them on multiple occasions since 1year.

mamuluga....women lo BTL..breast enhancement...breast reduction lanti surgeries ke....patient consent okkate saipoina kaani....family members/husband tho discsuss chesi

vallu ok antene kaani cheyaru.....because the outcome not only effects patient...it will have it impacts on family/psycho social realtionships also...anduke it is the duty 

of the surgeon to educat & prepare the patient n family before going for surgery.
