Physicians and other medical practitioners have saved millions of lives and they should be commended for that. But when things get bizarre and perfectly healthy people are diagnosed with supposedly terminal illnesses, can the latter run after these medical practitioners?
People who have been injured because of wrong diagnosis or negligence of medical practitioners can rightfully claim compensation for such injuries. The injury can physical as when they suffered from illnesses or it can be mental as when they have suffered mental anguish due to medical negligence.
