Ophthalmologists remind civic chief of the principle of respondeat superior - Latin for 'let the master answer' - and his ad hoc punishment of a doctor last month

BMC chief Ajoy Mehta
Doctors and staff of city hospitals have asked if civic chief Ajoy Mehta will take responsibility and compensate the victims of Thursday's bridge collapse, three of whom were their colleagues. Mehta had last month held honorary ophthalmologist Dr Arun Choudhary responsible and ordered him to compensate those who lost their vision at the HBT Trauma care hospital in Jogeshwari.
"It was unfair that Mehta made unsolicited remarks against Dr Chowdhary and directed the Maharashtra Medical Council to cancel his license without an independent probe," a doctor said, adding that Mehta should be held responsible and made to compensate each victim. Another senior medical officer from a suburban civic hospital said many honorary doctors – specialists who give back to society by serving in civic hospitals for an honorarium – contemplated mass resignations.
