: In its first action against doctors who promote unscientific and magical remedies for various diseases, the Travancore Cochin Medical Council has suspended the registration of an Ayurveda doctor for one month.
The suspension has been given to Dr K Siddharthan of Ezhukone, Kollam, who has been advertising about remedies for various ailments, including cancer, through his “thulli marunnu” (oral drops).
Travancore Cochin Medical Council’s registrar Dr A Mohammed Hussain said in his order that the advertisement issued by the doctor is against the Drugs and Magic Remedies (objectionable advertisement) Act. This was informed to the council by the state drugs controller. The council had probed the issue and it has been found that the doctor has violated the code of ethics of a registered medical practitioner.
The registrar said this order will be an eye opener for those who are violating the code of professional ethics of registered medical practitioners. The doctor who had appeared before the council had offered an apology and urged the council not to suspend his registration. However, the council observed that despite the notices issued by the state drugs control department against the doctor’s advertisements, he went ahead with it.
