Medical jousting means making negative or critical comments about another doctor’s diagnosis, treatment, or management in front of a patient, relatives, media, or on records—especially without full knowledge of the case.

Why it is medico-legally dangerous

➡ Triggers negligence litigation
➡ You may be called as a court witness
➡ Can amount to defamation
➡ Considered unethical professional conduct
➡ Weakens the defence of the medical profession

Protect yourself. Protect the profession.

Digital Medical Records & Legal Validity

Digital medical records are legally valid when maintained as per law. In India, they are recognized under the IT Act, 2000, NMC regulations, and Telemedicine guidelines.

For legal acceptance, records must be:
✔ Accurate & complete (reflect standard of care)
✔ Time-stamped with audit trail (no unauthorized edits)
✔ Secure & confidential (data privacy compliance)

👉 Stay compliant. Stay secure. Go digital the right way.

Why Doctors Lose Cases Even After Correct Treatment

Courts don’t judge intentions or hard work. They judge records, communication, and conduct.

A doctor may provide flawless medical care, yet still face legal trouble due to:

* Poor or incomplete documentation
* Invalid or inadequate consent
* Gaps in patient communication
* Defensive or informal statements after the event

⚖️ Good medicine must be supported by good records and clear communication.
Protect your practice by documenting right, consenting right, and communicating right.

Can consent be taken a few days before a procedure? 🤔

✅ Yes. Research shows that patient understanding and recall of the procedure—along with its risks and benefits remain just as effective whether informed consent is taken 24–72 hours in advance or right before the procedure.

🩺 What matters most is clear communication, adequate time for questions, and informed decision-making—not just the timing.

Informed consent is about understanding, not urgency.

🚨 WHEN TO INFORM THE POLICE? 🚨

Timely action can save lives and ensure safety. Immediately inform the police in cases of:

🔹 Suspected foul play
🔹 Medico-Legal Cases
🔹 Road Traffic Accidents
🔹 Any risk of aggression or violence within or around the healthcare facility

📞 Act without delay—safety and legal compliance come first.

What Is & What Is NOT Medical Negligence? ⚖️🏥

Negligence:
A hospital or clinic operating without proper registration or with an expired registration that hasn’t been renewed.

Not Negligence:
A hospital or clinic that is properly registered, and where renewal has been applied for and is pending approval with the concerned authorities.

👉 Understanding the difference helps ensure transparency, trust, and informed decisions in healthcare.

🩺 Duration of Rest in Medical Certificates

Did you know? A doctor should not prescribe rest for more than 15 days in a single medical certificate. Issuing longer durations, like 4 weeks at once, is considered professional misconduct. ✅

If more rest is needed, a fresh certificate must be issued after reassessment.

🩺 MCI Recommendations for Issuing Medical Certificates

Accuracy. Ethics. Responsibility.

When issuing a medical certificate, always follow these essential guidelines:

✔ Never issue it for more than 15 days at a time
✔ Re-examine the patient before re-issuing
✔ Even in repeat cases, verify photo ID
✔ Don’t certify illnesses outside your specialty
✔ Clearly mention the disability or condition
✔ Remember: A medical certificate is a legal document and holds value in court
