Dr. Vaibhav Dadu

Abstract :

The practice of medicine has been regarded as one of the noblest profession in India. The terms like the Praanacharya for the well versed physician are in vogue since long that suggests the highest regard for the medical practitioner which carries the burden of responsibility of maintaining the dignity on the shoulders of the practitioner. The expectations of the society from a practitioner sometimes outdo the capacities of the latter. This expectation – performance gap leads to the friction between the practitioner and the society. Coupled to this, the problem exacerbates when the practitioners don’t follow their ‘Medical ethics’. Medical ethics has a long history varying among various cultures and organizations. The Indian system of Medicine known commonly as Ayurveda with its Hindu philosophical background sets highest of standards for a practitioner ranging from the issues of dressing to the moral conduct et .al. A sincere effort has been made here to decode the ethical code of the Ayurveda medicine and its relevance in the present day.
