Abstract The field of medicine bridges the fractures between science and society. Due to the growing commercialization of everything, doctors are no longer concerned with their patients' health and safety but are just considering them as money-minting machines. As a consequence, doctors are failing to observe the due caution and standard of care. The law relating to Medical Negligence is well settled, and a remedy can be sought under Tort, Criminal, and Civil law. Apart from these, a patient is ipso facto a consumer, and thus a treatment under the consumer laws can also be sought. This work aims to analyze the concept of Medical negligence vis-à-vis the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 in its various dimensions. A patient being a consumer also possesses certain rights. This work also enumerates certain primary rights that every patient has as a consumer, in the author's opinion.
