Hello

I'd like to inform that the physiotherapists are not allowed to portray themselves as registered medical practitioners by prefixing the word “Dr” with their name. If any physiotherapists prefixes the word “Dr” with his name, then he shall be treated as quack as mentioned by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and all laws as applicable on any quack shall be also applicable on said physiotherapists who is prefixing “Dr.” with the name and who is portraying as the medical practitioner / medical consultant.

Do you think after four years of course & 6 months for internship, they will be called as quack ? Most of the papers are common and classes are taken by the same Professor/Institutions. How they will be called as quack os so.
It is not acceptable.
