dc.description.abstractToday the number of cases of medical litigation is increasing and already it has become a great problem for surgeons, anaesthetists and obstetricians. The general practitioners and physicians are also facing the problem and in coming years the profession may turn into a nightmare. SMS Medical College is the biggest and oldest medical teaching institution in Rajasthan. The department of Forensic Medicine handles all types of medico legal works and there is a separate established Medical Board under the chairmanship of the Head of the department. Here we receive second opinion cases from different law enforcing agencies including the hospital and public administration. In this paper we have reviewed the second opinion cases with a primary focus on medical negligence cases in the time period of 2005 t 2009. Total 55 cases were identified out of which 42 were dead and 13 were alive. Maximum numbers of cases were observed in the age group of 21-30years. The number of female cases outnumbered the number of males. Maximum numbers of cases were related to surgical practice (OG-21, Surgery-8, Ortho-6, Neurosurgery-3, ENT-2, Opthal-1 and Urology-1).en_US
