Doctors' negligence

On August 30, my father was admitted to a city hospital.
I was astonished to see that although my father was admitted at 10.00pm he was attended by the doctor after long one hour at 11.00pm and that too on our repeated persuasion as his condition was deteriorating fast.
However, on that night the consultant attended him and as per his suggestion different tests were done. His blood test report dated August 31 reveals that sodium content went down (reading 113; sample received at 0.31.30 AM) and as per suggestion of the consultant, treatment of the patient started by undertaking sodium correction.
After attending on August 30, the consultant did not visit the patient on August 31, despite repeated calls from the duty doctor and us. On September 1 when his condition further deteriorated, the consultant attended the patient at around 10.00pm. In the meantime, due to rapid and excessive correction of sodium (blood test on September 2 reveals sodium content to be 158, sample received at 0.49.30 AM and 168.5, sample received at 3.00 AM) the patient's condition deteriorated and he became unconscious. His blood pressure fell drastically and he was on the verge of collapse.
It may be mentioned that during the correction period, electrolytes report was expected to be constantly monitored to check against any excessive correction as it may lead to permanent CNS injury but the same was not done due to the gross negligence on the part of the consultant and the doctors concerned.
When we contacted the duty doctor on September 2 at 12.00 midnight, he visited the patient and declared that he had nothing to do as the condition of the patient was very serious. Despite our repeated call nobody from the ICU came to attend the patient. Finding no other alternative we requested the duty doctor to arrange shifting of the patient to another hospital. He then was shifted to another hospital where he underwent treatment till 12 September 2007 and expired on 13 September.
It is unfortunate that despite our repeated call, the consultant did not pay a single visit to the hospital (where my father was shifted) to monitor my father's condition.
This kind of negligence, which may lead to fatal consequences, is unacceptable from a hospital. I urge the authorities concerned to investigate the matter and demand compensation for the negligence on the part of the doctors and the hospital authorities. I can provide all the details if such an investigation is done.
