Frame guidelines on theses: docs panel
Ludhiana, February 13 The inquiry committee of senior doctors from Government Medical College, Amritsar, was set up by the Director, Research and Medical Education, Punjab, on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court during the disposal of a civil writ petition filed by the Society of Medical Ethics. The report submitted before the high court by the chairman of the inquiry committee, Dr Karnail Singh, professor and head, department of paediatrics, Government Medical College, Amritsar, on January 27, 2005, stated that in the material and methods of thesis number 13 involving 50 patients, spirometry (a test) was to be performed three times in each case but only seven files showed proformas of the test, that too only once in each case. The committee further observed that the record keeping of DMCH was deficient in some respects, especially account keeping. Further, it also seemed irregular that cash payments were received from patients for the research tests without issuing proper receipts. The inquiry committee were Dr A.S. Bhatia, associate professor, department of surgery, Dr Madhu Nagpal, professor and head, department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Dr Iqbal Singh, professor and head, anaesthesia and the professor and head, department of radio diagnosis. The petitioner society had raked up the issue of gross violation of human rights (in conducting clinical trials on patients, in some cases without their knowledge or consent) and fudged up data in the thesis submitted by postgraduate students. It had alleged that students of the institution appeared to have performed only a part of the research work while rest of the data was fictitious and made up. Dr Hitesh Mahajan, who had filed the petition on behalf of the society, had further questioned the genuineness of the PG degrees completed in the DMCH in the wake of MCI guidelines that if thesis was written on the basis of fake research work, then both theory and practical examinations were null and void.
