No action shall be brought against the council or committee for
anything done _bona fide_ under the act. Appeal from the decision to
erase lies to any judge of the court of Queen’s Bench for Manitoba,
and such judge may make such order as to restoration or confirmation
of erasure or for further inquiry, and as to costs, as to him may seem
right (_ib._, s. 51).
EVIDENCE.—In a trial under this act the burden of proof as to
registration is on the person charged (_ib._, s. 53).
The production of a certificate that the person named is duly
registered, certified under the hand of the registrar, is sufficient
evidence of registration, and his signature in the capacity of
registrar is _prima facie_ evidence that he is registrar without proof
of signature or that he is registrar (_ib._, s. 54).
The registrar is required to print and publish from time to time under
the direction of the council a correct register of the names and
residences, with medical titles, diplomas, and qualifications conferred
by any college or body, with the date thereof, of all persons appearing
on the register as existing on the day of publication (_ib._, s. 55).
The register is called “The Manitoba Medical Register;” a copy thereof
for the time being purporting to be so printed and published is _prima
facie_ evidence that the persons specified are registered (_ib._, s.
56).
In the case of any person whose name does not appear in such copy, a
certified copy under the hand of the registrar of the council of the
entry of the name of such person on the register is evidence that
such person is registered (_ib._, s. 57). The absence of the name of
any person from such copy is _prima facie_ evidence that he is not
registered (_ib._, s. 58).
PRACTITIONER’S RIGHTS.—Every person registered is entitled according
to his qualifications to practise medicine, surgery, or midwifery, or
any of them as the case may be, and to demand and recover full costs
of suit, reasonable charges for professional aid, advice, and visits,
and the cost of any medicine or other medical appliances rendered or
supplied by him to his patient (_ib._, s. 59).
NEGLECT TO REGISTER.—A person neglecting to register is not entitled
to the rights and privileges conferred, and is liable to all penalties
against unqualified or unregistered practitioners (_ib._, s. 60).
UNREGISTERED PERSONS.—It is not lawful for any person not registered
to practise medicine, surgery, or midwifery for hire, gain, or hope of
reward (_ib._, s. 61).
No person is entitled to receive any charge for medical or surgical
advice or attendance, or the performance of any operation, or for
any medicine which he may have prescribed or supplied, unless he be
registered, but this provision does not extend to the sale of any drug
or medicine by a licensed chemist or druggist (_ib._, s. 62).
