Abstract
The current topic has been chosen for discussion because it is having insalubrious impact on the society. The members of the society have started losing faith in doctors accentuated by their behaviour. The authors have tried to dissect this malady by phrasing it into phases and then applying their mind as to what have greatly contributed towards this malady. To a certain extent the authors have contributed in analysing the problem and offering few suggestions which would help in managing the rot. The discussion follows below.
Keywords: evolution of medical negligence, ignominy, Chanaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita.
