The state clinical establishment regulatory commission has asked a private hospital to compensate a 77-year-old woman with ₹5 lakh after her orthopaedic surgery went wrong. The hospital, TRA General Hospital, argued that they had a portable X-Ray machine, said Banerjee. The surgeon had not requested the portable X-Ray machine, said Banerjee. When Metro contacted TRA General Hospital on Thursday, a hospital official said it was a "private case of the doctor." We have an X-ray machine, but the doctor had not requested it," the official said.
