Abstract

ADVANCES IN OPHTHALMOLOGY AND MEDICAL SCIENCE IN GENERAL, HAS RAISED THE BAR OF MEDICAL CARE.

ALSO THERE IS HIGH CONSUMER AWARENESS AND LOW THRESHOLD FOR TOLERANCE, LEADING TO INCREASING NUMBER OF LAW SUITS AGAINST DOCTORS.

IN THE MEDICAL COLLEGES, HARDLY ANYTHING IS TAUGHT TO THE MEDICAL STUDENTS ABOUT THE VARIOUS LEGAL ASPECTS.

AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST IS VERY RARELY AWARE OF THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF OPHTHALMIC PRACTICE OR THE CONCERNED LAWS WHICH ARE RELEVANT FOR PRACTICE.

SO WHENEVER THEY COMES ACROSS ANY MEDICO LEGAL SITUATION THEY GET BAFFLED.

PARTICULARLY IN CPA CASES, THEY TEND TO LOSE THEIR PEACE OF MIND WHICH MAY AFFECT THEIR SKILL AND PRACTICE.

IN THIS IC THE STATUTORY RULES THAT ARE CONCERNED WITH OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AND PRACTICE, LEGAL PROCEDURES IN THE COURT, CPA, STUDY OF LAW CASES AND ALL THE CONCERNED LEGAL MATTER WILL BE INCLUDED.

THIS IC WILL TRY TO MAKE THE OPHTHALMOLOGISTS PREPARED TO DEAL IN A BETTER WAY WHEN FACING MEDICO LEGAL SITUATIONS
