What Every Doctor Must Know
Ignorance of law is never a defense — knowledge is your strongest protection.
It is a legal and ethical duty for doctors to report an MLC to the police immediately — the patient's consent is NOT required.
No hospital can refuse emergency treatment, regardless of medicolegal implications (Supreme Court mandate).
An MLC report prepared by a doctor is crucial documentary evidence in criminal trials.
A single mistake in consent documentation can lead to massive compensation claims.
