Doctors And Manslaughter
This has two dimensions to it, one is related to professional misconduct for which the state and the relevant professional body can take action and their requirements can be more stern, and other one has a religious dimension. As far as religion is concerned, there’s no point of Diyat unless it falls atleast within ambit of ‘ unintentional murder ‘, which can only happen if an act of intentional negligience has been committed by the person without any intention of killing the person, but that negligient act somehow killed the person. Misspeaking 500 cc per five hours as 500 cc per hour doesn’t constitute this act on the face of it, unless the doctor didn’t have had proper sleep or he was intoxicated despite knowing he had a surgery to opearte in the morning. All the details need to be taken into consideration in deciding whether or not it is an ‘unintentional murder’.
