We can initiate legal action for claiming compensation for harassment and other damages.
I need to examine complete inpatient record.
Please let me know whether the hospital has supplied the case notes, or notes (entire record)?

Doctors can be booked for medical negligence in this case. You can file a petition for damages caused to you for Negligence of Tort in civil court for claim of 50 lakhs and additional criminal negligence in criminal court for the prosecution of the doctor. You can come and visit my office with the reports. I can guide you well on this case. I have dealt several such cases of medical negligence in past.
