Just starting to add some pictures to liven things up - that topic wasn't the deepest but the list to recommended doctors might help some people.

I loved the links, so the dr schnabel is a ficticious character, right? With a God complex to boot? Is that the point, if so, very well done!

Correct me if I'm wrong...
That particular type of mask was used by doctor's in Scotland (and elsewhere of course) during the outbreak of the Bubonic Plague. It was thought at the time that the sickness was spread through the air, and that inhaling sweet smelling spices and or flowers and other things would ward off the sickness. So, when the doctors would go into the quarintined homes, they would wear these masks with large beaks, with sweet smelling stuff in the beak part.
Learned about it on a tour of "Mary King's Close" in Edinburgh. Pretty cool stuff.
Also, contrary to popular belief, people infected with the plague were not abandoned to die by the city. They were allocated out of public funds a portion of food, medical treatment, and 3 Scots pints of beer each day. A Scots pint is 3 English Pints (because the English are weak when it comes to drinking). Great healthcare in medieval times!

You are correct, sir. It is a woodcut related to the plague. I saw it as a representation of quackery and what medicine doesn't know, but I guess it has lots of different meanings to different people.
What say ye, be it too confusing a pikture??

Every time I go to a new dentist, they stick their mirror in my mouth and comment to the assistant that is taking notes: "mouth breather."

I am not sure it is too confusing a picture. I thought it was cool. However, I am not sure that I would equate it with medical quackery. The reason being is that during that time it was probably the best they had. In that sense, for ust to look back on a previous culture, or period of history, and call their best effort quackery, might not, in my opinion, be fair. It does seem ridiculous to us now, but we sit on the side of history which has access to things like modern medicine.
In 500 years, they will probably look back and call us quacks, but, in honesty we do the best we can, and that can't be called crazy by contemporary standards.
Maybe I am thinking too much, but I do like the picture.

to think we very recently scoffed at the use of leeches as a medical treatment option, and now they have found a very real application that is better than anything "science" has come up with in regenerating circulation in certain tissues.
or that mushrooms that have been growing in the wild in the woods, or a crazy weed like kudzu has the ability to be a medical treatment option. i wouldn't have believed it.
what most of would have thought of as quackery may be closer to being on target --- and has since been replaced by negligence, expediency, and greed.

You got a good point, boomer. For me, quackery isn't hi-tech or all-natural, its anything that isn't a good treatment.
(But its still a funny picture, non?)
