Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Definition of a Quack is , It sounds and looks like a duck !!! No, all kidding aside, a quack, is somebody, who is not trained in Medicine, but prescribes it. A Pretender. That is true for any branch of Medicine. Such people sound very convincing, have a great sense of public appeal, etc,,, but are just not trained to do what is really necessary. It is like letting your car be "fixed" by somone who pretends to be a "mechanic". Just in the States, for example, they recently prosecuted a person for operating on people for Plastic Surgical Procedures, without any training, and without a License to practice medicine, and obviously with disastrous results.
