Should doctors be kept out of the Consumer Protection Act?

Should doctors remain under the purview of the Consumer Protection Act? In this podcast, Saroja.S, Executive Director, CAG, makes a strong case that they should. Without this, consumers (which patients are, as medical provisions are services offered at a cost) would have limited recourse to justice. Civil court proceedings which might be the other redressal avenue are lengthy and convoluted, unlike provisions offered by consumer fora.
