A local court in Kerala recently sentenced an obstetrician to 1 year of jail for failure to deliver a baby in time resulting in the death of the child in 2007. Whereas, the merits of the case can always be debated, it is very clear that society and courts are becoming increasingly hostile to perceived medical errors. Whereas, many such situations may arise due to errors of judgement, it is necessary that the medical professional documents the exercise of due diligence while taking the decision. One such act of due diligence could be a timely second opinion.
PyraMed enables doctors to get a second opinion by discussing the case with peers/ specialists on a joint video-consultation platform from the comfort of their clinics, using a smartphone.

News reports about a possible connection between COVID-19 and a rare but serious health condition in children called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are the latest fear factor.
Scientists from around the world, including pediatric specialists, are working together to understand MIS-C and how best to diagnose and treat it.
What is known about MIS-C :
Children with MIS-C are very ill and have a fever and inflammation in their body that gets confirmed from lab tests. While different, MIS-C has some of the same symptoms as other rare childhood conditions such as Kawasaki Disease and toxic shock syndrome. Children with MIS-C may also have thrombosis (blood clots), poor heart function and problems with many organs, such as the intestines, heart, brain, lungs, skin, and kidneys.
These children need help from paediatricians and other paediatric specialists like Paediatric Cardiologist, Paediatric Nephrologist etc.
