Abstract
<p>There are a very few notions that many of us agree, unarguably. The fact that our society is "highly traditional and bureaucratic" is one such entity. It is not the aim of this essay to contend why our society is traditional and bureaucratic in an analytic perspective, but, empirically it is pertinent to examine and investigate how this traditional structure has affected engendering "gaps" between medico-legal métiers. I am not attempting to endorse Derrida in de-structuring the entire construction here, but to elucidate some ill-effects it has delivered and to postulate propositions to proceed in bridging some extant vital gaps and voids.</p>
