Emedinews:Insights on Medicolegal Issues:Medicine and law have been interrelated from the earliest times


Medicine and law have been interrelated from the earliest times as per Gradwohl’s Legal Medicine. The role of the doctor and the police is nothing but like a solitary person, sage, Qazi and priest. They are an intermediary between God and man. The purpose of medicine is to maintain the patient in the best health, to overcome his diseases, injury and to lengthen his healthy life. The purpose of law is to maintain peace and order in the society, respect of humans through human rights and to provide equality of opportunity. To achieve these purposes medicine emerges from the laboratory by the scientific process and law emerges from the society by the process of experience.
"People follow medicine and Law follows people".
