Abstract

 This review is an effort to compile a set of basic guidelines to be practiced when dealing with MLCs. Medical records of patients must be preserved for a period of 3 years as per MCI Regulations. But the National Consumer Commission is suggesting that when legal problems are anticipated or in cases of medical mishaps, they must be preserved for a longer period. Those lawyers, who do not constantly deal with medical issues in their legal practice, know very little about the medical profession and its problems; physicians frequently comprehend too little about the law and how it affects them in the practice of their profession. Medico legal experts can provide a link between these two professions for their smooth & effective functioning in a scientific manner.
