<p>Anil Koppula, an Australian, lost his lawsuit against a hospital in which he claimed the establishment had failed to shield him from seeing his wife undergo a C-section, causing him to suffer from psychiatric impairment as a result of the horrific event.</p>



<p>Koppula claimed that despite his voluntary offer to be present, the Royal Women&#8217;s Hospital in Melbourne had a duty of care to keep him from watching the C-section procedure. He was permitted to enter the operating room in January 2018 during the procedure, where he saw his wife&#8217;s internal organs and blood.</p>



<p>Years later, Koppula sued the hospital, requesting AU$1 billion in damages for the alleged psychological injury he sustained from watching the surgical procedure. In addition, he asserted that the breakdown of his marriage was due to the mental illness he had, which he blamed on the hospital&#8217;s breach of its duty of care to him.</p>



<p>Koppula claimed in his lawsuit that the hospital had violated its duty of care, making it accountable for damages, and that he had been urged or permitted to watch the delivery.</p>



<p>The Royal Women&#8217;s Hospital agreed that it owed Koppula a duty of care, but in its defence claimed that this duty had not been broken. According to the hospital, it normally permits mothers to have for emotional support, many have their husbands or other family members attend the C-section with them. However, before opting to attend the treatment, these families are given advice not to meddle in any manner and are given information on the specifics of the procedure.</p>



<p>Koppula had a medical assessment to determine the psychological effects of seeing the C-section. According to the medical examination report, the level of psychological impairment brought on by the damage claimed in the claim did not reach the cutoff point.</p>



<p>Koppula rejected the medical report, but because he did not request a review, the Royal Women&#8217;s Hospital asked the Supreme Court of Victoria to dismiss the case, which it did.</p>



<p>The incident emphasises how crucial it is for people to choose their own level of readiness—emotionally and psychologically—to watch procedures like C-sections and to assume control of their own health in such circumstances.</p>
