The Responsibility of Surgeon
Issue No.1875- If a surgeon while operating on a patient or circumcising a child causes an injury to the patient or the child on account of negligence, or causes his death, he is responsible. Also, if he makes a mistake and as a consequence of which the patient sustains harm, he is responsible. However, if he has not neglected and has not made a mistake and the patient becomes defective or dies due to other factors, he is not responsible, provided that he had acted, in respect to the child, with his legal guardian’s permission.
