Comments by Dr.Zachariah Thomas

The undergraduate education working group has proposed to emasculate and there by going to administer  euthanasia to forensic medicine. This proposal is done without holding any discussions at the grass root level. They projected that thereis anadditioal need of 3500 Forensic Specialist .The genocide of this speciality is the treatment they suggested. How can Forensic medicine be effectively taught  along with Gynaecology ,surgery of Pharmacology. Are legal experts qalified to teach medical ethics and medicolegal issues .Without learning the subject properly how can the internees learn documentation of and    to give evidence inmedico legal cases. 
       There are other subspecialilties which can be dissolved either in Medicine or Surgery .Sothat M.B.B.S.curriculam can be converted into a two  or three year course.
           To rectify the deficiency of Forensic  specialists the working group could have proposed to revamp the subject by updating  UG curriculum and increasing theP.G. seats.Even autopsies can be conducted in private medical colleges.
              The service rendered by Forensic expert to the judiciary in the administration of justice can"t be compared with other medical or surgical  specialities   we forensicexperts & like minded medical experts should work together to thawrt this  move..
