A person who does not have knowledge of a particular System of Medicine but practices in that System is a Quack and a mere pretender to medical knowledge or skill, or to put it differently, a Charlatan.
Homoeopaths has permissionto practice in HOMOEOPATHY ONLY, he was under a statutory duty not to enter the field of any other System of Medicine as,admittedly, he was not qualified in the other system,
Allopathy, to be precise. He trespassed into a prohibited field and was liable to be prosecuted under Section 15(3) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. His conduct amounted to an actionable negligence particularly as the duty of care indicated by this Court
Merely because the Anatomy and Physiology are similar, it does not mean that a person having studied one System of Medicine can claim to treat the patient by drugs of another System which he might not have studied at any stage. No doubt, study of Physiology and Anatomy is common in all Systems of Medicines and the students belonging to different Systems of Medicines may be taught physiology and Anatomy together, but so far as the study of drugs is concerned; the pharmacology of all systems is entirely different.

Allopathy system of medicine what have different ? A druds have some sort guideline to act in system. eg. paracetamole is use in fever, bone and muscular pain, body ache, head ache, arthritis, joint pain, or any kind of pain. whats in new. does can mentain according to weight. so where need pharmacology.All drugs are can be read in one week or sortly. so there is no great value of behin these drugs use by other pathy physians in imergensy.
If medical doctors of systems other than conventional medicine are allowed to practice conventional medicine, they are digging their own grave. In the long run, they will meet the same fate as ayurveda and ayurvedic doctors had in india. Beware Homeopaths
legally, Ayurvedic doctors are allowed to prescribe life saving drugs only but those practising actually they are prescribing many more drugs. Sowly over the decades they lost the art and science of ayurveda. The great science of ayurveda from which modern day surgery is evolved. Homeopathy will meet the same fate if it goes the ayurveda way.
This is a welcome news that homeopaths are not allowed to practice allopathy
JOKE=
In One movie one actor got injury from pistol shoot, having 2 wounds. In this condition Actress use to remove the bullets from his body using a knife.
LESSON=
Actress done surgery though she was not a doctor, because its for his life saving. So in Emergency situation Not a Homoeopath, anybody can perform surgery too, and supreme court can not stop them.
DECISION=
A List of criteria (mostly emergency)should be made immediately,A List of Allopathic medicines (mostly emergency)should be made immediately, for the life saving and implement them into effects, and should be given permission to BHMS, BAMS and also to General People.We all should come out of minor changes in the traditional system.
How the ANMs are giving allopathic drug in sub centre ?
Why institutionaly trained doctors are not elligible to give some emergency drug?
I appreciate the the decision of supreme court .Has honarable supreme court mentioned that a allopath will never prescribe any ayurvedic drug?
In pndt act 2003 there is no mention of bhms/bams doctor . whether they are elligible for radiology ,or pathology as spesalisation ,where no pharmacology is not required .
