[Special treatment methods in general practice--legal medicine viewpoint].
There is only one common medical law which is valid for all physicians. No therapy method can claim a special status or special rights. However, due to the considerable differences in training and qualification, the jurisdiction grants special rights to a healer without medical exam (non-medical practitioner) in comparison to a physician. Additionally, a physician has to take into account the limitations by the social legislation when he uses "special treatment methods" to avoid claims for compensation.
