It appears that your mother was not properly examined, diagnosed and treated by first doctor . You should have by now made complaint to MCI . Anyway now you can take legal steps. First collect all documents and medical records from hospital concerned. Give a legal notice through a lawyer to the hospital and doctors concetned. Also complaint to MCI and then file case inconsumer court. For legal help you may consult through this site. I am in delhi high court.
