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".
