Abstract

In the present context of commercialized medical practice, there is a strong public feeling that doctors have become traders. Doctors, on the other hand, have reacted in a contradictory manner. Some have found the label ‘trader’ offensive and refuse to participate in any debate on the subject. Others have accepted that a large part of present day medical practice is nothing, but trading by qualified as well as non-qualified medical persons
