But, we forget leaching, pendulum therapy, divination, supplements alleged to increase proper plantigrade spinal posture, utilization of cocaine and heroin as over the counter pain control products in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and the complete litany of deceptive, ineffective or dangerous products or services, or mistakes that predispose us to harm, death and generally a reliving of past medical mistakes in history. Obviously, the separation of scientific, ethical,and morally applicable facts from fantasy must be considered as a priori of importance for any great nation to survive. In fact health care is now being considered as part of national security by many concerned, knowledgeable, experienced, and seasoned quack busters world wide. This of course, occurs within insurance policing by insurance boards due to green poultice politics and so forth that is addressed within the section on Insurance. But, there is a desperate need for experts with seasoned ability to recognize deceptive practices and procedures used within the medical health professional amalgam and coordinate the appropriate subsequent case review and future case orchestration recommendations and pre-trial hearings if needed.
Medical fraud is the most sickening of frauds.
To take advantage of the ill, the weak, the disabled, those on fixed incomes who cannot afford the cost of hospitalization and adequate care to live or survive, should be considered deplorable. A Quack is anyone who promotes medical schemes or remedies known to be false, or which are unproven, for a profit . All rights reserved.
