The Supreme Court of India guarantees impunity to doctors & medical professionals unless they have been engaging in gross negligence which includes loss of limb, partial or full permanent paralysis & death. Though regarded as demigods, doctors at times have escaped their social responsibility towards their patients whom they have wronged.

There have been numerous cases of them defying the “Hippocratic Oath” or their code of medical ethics for medical turpitude in which they deliberately discount the health & trust of their patients who approach them in hope of relief against their own personal gains. Not too long ago willful negligence became the norm in accident cases, where the doctors refused to treat any trauma patients in distress for they feared legal persecution & harassment from the police. In some instances, pharmacies have engaged in selling medicines which have passed their date of expiry resulting in catastrophic health consequences to the consumer. There have also been cases where doctors have negligently performed surgeries of organ removals on perfectly healthy organs of a patient.
