I was having severe abdomen pain and was referred to Dr. Prabir Pal for ultrasonography by Dr. R P Patel on 23/11/2012.
Ultra sonography was conducted on 23/11/2012 at around 7 PM, in which it was stated that "Right iliac fossa showing mildly inflammed non-compressible hypoechoic appendix with increased wall thickness (9mm). Minimal fluid seen in periappendicular region."
IMPRESSION- Features suggestive of- Acute Appendicitis with free fluid (perforations).
For further treatment I was reffered to Dr. Shekhar Shrivastav, where treatment for Appendicitis started and was to be operated the next day for it via laproscopy.
When they inserted the tools for operation it was found that appendicitis was normal and there was a tubal abortion in right fallopian tube.
Dr. Shekhar during discussions had said that "Even I was wondering that the pain was not around the area where appendicitis is". Still based on the report he carried on with treatment for appendicitis.
I seek advice on two counts,
1) What action can be taken against Dr. Prabir Pal for faulty report?
2) Is Dr. Shekhar also guilty? and action can be initiated against him or not?
