Imagine some doctor by professional negligence causes
loss of vision or
loss of hearing or
amputation of wrong limb of some patient
BUT NOT DEATH.
Is section 304 IPC of criminal negligence applied in such cases (India) ??

it may be malpractice, but it's not criminal negligence unless you can prove the doctor knowingly did something wrong.

It is called causing grievous injury by culpable negligence. The exact section under IPC is not known to me.

Do not think the victim is a third party, but yourself. Then answer the question youself. That's facing the truth and reality.

yes it is taken an offence,a penalty may have to be given by the doctor and in major cases the doctor may get deprived of his registration.
