Synopsis As the modern medical science is developing faster, so also are the specialties. In olden times there were three broad divisions of therapy - medical, surgical and gynaecological. Now there are various surgical specialties but we find that even in the medical side there are specilised departments. as a result very often a patient is referred from one specialist to another, often without any benefit. But homoeopathy is able to succeed in many specialised departments of medicine by merely applying a standard principle and following a particular method of treatment.
