JUSTIFIED DEMAND
Yes using homoeopathic medicine during emergency is very effective and safe….. Know ur scope and limitation….. We must fight for our right and at the same time we must increase our homeopathic knowledge which will help us in emergency
The demand of the students needs attention, Stiphen to postgraduate /interns is the right of the student working in Hospitals , denying this is step motherly act..
Use of Allopathic medicine during emergencies needs attention of senior Homoeopaths, they need to create confidence among the students to use HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN EMERGENCIES ,which are more effective and safer than Allopathic medicines.
