Chimera of s. 106(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 is apparently harsher than IPC 304A, a way away from complete decriminalization as promised on December 20,2023,by Union Home Minister. IPC-1860 is set to be replaced by New Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023[BNS], CrPC1973 by Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita Act, 2023 (BNSS), IEA1872 by Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023,so in future please refer to corresponding section before studying decided case laws. Neither during medical undergraduate nor postgraduate medical training adequately prepares pediatricians for real-world scenarios of medico-legal importance, including allegations of medical malpractice, service deficiencies, and unfair trade practices. For the first time, pediatricians are recognizing the importance of smart communication of material risks and their documentation as to what to convey and what not to convey, the significance of counseling, forewarning, risk-disclosures, guarantees, and warranties, all of which contribute in preparing proper informed consent/contract for medical services. This book highlights the significance of why,when,how,where and what to document on OPD,IPD transfer,and discharge papers as rebuttable evidence through the proper preservation of medical records. The distinguished authors have exerted every effort to disseminate their knowledge,experience,and wisdom to the readers by scrutinizing numerous significant judicial decisions involving alleged medical malpractice,deficiency of services,and unfair trade practices.References in the book are included at the point of description.Its objective is to make medical practice legally safe rendered ethically, with peace of mind, which is reassuring to both the patients and the doctors, and less stressful by addressing upfront numerous legal concerns related to medical practice which help in preventing litigations in general. This book follows a reader-friendly format encompassing all practical and relevant topics.Each chapter has Aim,Objective, Summary, Key learning points, and one liner medico-legal wisdoms to aid in the retention of crucial legal topics relevant to medical practice. The book makes an ideal reading for all practicing pediatricians in terms of the preventive aspects,legal problems in medical practice, as well as those confronting litigation.
