Questions people ask

Where can I complain about a hospital or doctor?

Before the consumer commission, for compensation, if you paid for the treatment. You can also complain to the State Medical Council about the doctor's conduct.

Do I need an expert's opinion?

Not always. Commissions have decided cases on the records where the negligence was obvious, and asked for an expert's opinion where it wasn't.

The hospital won't give me the records. What can I do?

Ask in writing and keep a copy. Patients are entitled to their medical records, and commissions have held it against hospitals that didn't produce them.
