clueless of the subject and run their private hospitals or clinics , but are never around the Forensic side. This once again is adding up to the dearth we are facing in India and is quite rampant. This saga of the Departed will continue unless a giant step is taken to prevent this. So, how can we practically implement this? vide infra Chapter 6. Chapter 5 : Jumping on the Band wagon We have been reading all this while in India the conventional and highly popular books and considered the information to be the gospel of truth. As Osho Rajneesh quoted “A lie told over a million years becomes not just the truth,but the absolute as now truth”. Where people after being challenged on open forums are either not able to answer the questions put forward by a few challenging pathologists who were formely subdued or resort to forwarding the question to a Lawyer who will nail the question by providing references proving that our old conventional Indian Textbooks are conveying wrong information.The hilarious part is the so called new editions of these books are just a color change of their cover page. So it is time to Stop jumping on the band wagon and look at the newly releasing textbooks. The one especially by our Editor in Chief. Chapter 6 : The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Let us now look at a few people who are genuinely trying to revive this subject in different angles. Firstly Dr.V.V Pillay whom I personally regard as the modern pioneer of toxicology in India. With constant effort he succesfully set up a Private Poison Control Centre in 2012 which provides not only telephonic advice with regard to treatment but also is equipped with a Chemical analysis Laboratory which the Poison Information centres lack in India. Further he successfully set up a Clinical Forensic Medicine unit which handles the Medicolegal cases. This CFMU was also implemented by Dr.K.Indrajith In Maharashtra, who gallantly exposed the wrong ways of medicolegal work carried out by Non-Medicolegal Experts. And after constant appeals with the high court got it implemented which revolutionized things. These Extraordinary gentlemen and a few more have saved our subject and successfully scraped off MCI’s Vision 2015.
