    Hi..No, it is not legal. Medicine used to be an elite profession not as It is Unfortunate to see that paramedics like physiotherapist are calling themselves 'Doctor' and prescribing medicine and test despite the supreme Court order banning all physios from Affixing the Dr prefix and prescribing tests or scan.

    Hope this information useful to you.
