Mangalore: Former Vice-Chancellor of Manipal University, Dr.B.M. Hegde, in a lecture given on Monday (Sept.19) at Father Muller’s College(FMMC) Hall about Medical Education at cross-roads, stated that educational process trained qualified humans to do things justly, skillfully and large-heartedly in all circumstances of war or piece.
He explained the growth and history of medicine as a science of study and that Ayurveda had also contributed largely in the modern world to the science of well-being and understanding of medicine.
But the doctors are carrying on with fossilised (outdated) ideas to treat several diseases. He added that classical physics in its treatment had been now replaced by “quantum properties” , in effective treatment.
Damage was done often by pharmaceutical drugs in cure.  Dr.Hegde revealed that health in human body had to depend on a community of 50 trillion cells in harmonious working. Medicine was more an art than a science, he made out.
Eminent doctors were in the audience.
