FORFEITURE OF RIGHT.—Any registered practitioner convicted of any
felony thereby forfeits his right to registration and by direction of
the council his name is required to be erased from the register, or in
case a person known to have been convicted of felony presents himself
for registration, the registrar has power to refuse such registration
(_ib._, s. 32).
RIGHTS OF REGISTERED PRACTITIONER.—Every person registered under the
act is entitled to practise medicine and surgery, including midwifery,
or any of them as the case may be, in British Columbia, and to demand
and receive in any court of the province, with full costs of the suit,
reasonable charges for professional aid, advice, and visits, and the
costs of any medical or surgical appliances rendered or supplied by him
to his patient (_ib._, s. 33).
EVIDENCE.—The registrar of the council, under the direction of the
council, is required to publish a correct register of the names and
residences with the medical titles, diplomas, and qualifications
conferred by any college or body, of all persons appearing on the
register at the date of publication. Said register is called “The
British Columbia Medical Register.” A copy of such register for the
time being, purporting to be so printed and published, shall be _prima
facie_ evidence that the persons therein specified are registered
according to the provisions of this act; and, subject to sub. sec. 2
of this section, the absence of the name of any person from such copy
shall be _prima facie_ evidence that such person is not registered
according to this act (_ib._, s. 34).
In the case of a person whose name does not appear in such copy, a
certified copy under the hand of the registrar of the entry of the name
of such person on the register shall be evidence that such person is
registered under this act (_ib._, s. 34, sub. s. 2).
HOMŒOPATHIC PHYSICIANS.—Any homœopathic physician holding a diploma
of qualification from any authorized school or college requiring a
three-years’ course of study may be registered, and shall not be bound
to pass the examination required by sec. 29, but in lieu thereof, shall
pass before the council, or such of them as may be appointed for that
purpose, a satisfactory examination in anatomy, physiology, pathology,
chemistry, obstetrics, and surgery (_ib._, s. 35, as amended, Act 1890,
c. 30, s. 2).
NEGLECT TO REGISTER.—Those entitled to register and neglecting to do
so are not entitled to any of the rights and privileges conferred by
registration and are liable to all penalties against unqualified or
unregistered practitioners (_ib._, s. 37).
