London, Sep 25 : An investigation by the coroner's office is opening into the case of a 30-year-old Indian-origin man, who died in a top UK hospital last month with his father saying that he could have been saved if the family was given right to a second medical opinion, according to a media report.
Jay Patel, 58, said that when his son Balram fell ill, he was given unsuitable treatment and was refused right to a second opinion from senior medics, known as the Martha's rule in the UK, the Guardian newspaper reported on Monday.
The rule gives patients and their families the legal right to a second opinion from senior medics in the same hospital if they feel their concerns are being overlooked and if the patient's condition is deteriorating rapidly.
