First of all, Faraz and those who may be unfamiliar w/ this case, my
take on the situation was that you father probably knew what was going
on and just did not tell you. You are under some misconception that
they should have discussed and cleared everything w/ you but that is
not the way it works. Your father was the patient and the doctors had
no duty to discuss his situation w/ you as long as he was competent to
make treatment decisions. Indeed, in the U.S. we have laws preventing
healthcare providers from disclosing confidential info.

I don't know what you want of the people on this newsgroup - very few
live in or have info on the medical profession in Pakistan. Have you
even made the obvious step of contacting the Pakistan Medical
Association? Try it: help@pma.org.pk  Or a malpractice lawyer?

I sympathze w/ your loss but you need to get over the obsession you
have w/ his doctors. A good New Year's resolution, perhaps.

Undertaking known reasonable risks in effort to achieve the patient's
objectives is not malpractice. Having a better view with the benefit of
hindsight does not suggest the physicians should have done anything
different at the time they did it. Physicians operate with imperfect
knowledge as the ultimate outcomes of their procedures in every case,
and they undertake reasonable risks in attempt to achieve objectives.
