Story | A Quack/ A Little Knowledge Is A Dangerous Thing

Knowledge is useful for people when it is complete and clear. Having a little knowledge without the ability to use it properly is dangerous. In the past, there was a doctor in a small community. He was not a real doctor and did not have proper training. He learned a bit about different diseases and medicines from a qualified doctor. He knew very little about how the body works. He was always aware of the drugs advertised in medical journals from different companies. Sometimes, he pretended to be a doctor in the community. The simple villagers, without any other doctors nearby, trusted him and let him treat them. His friends warned him many times not to play with people's lives, but he didn't listen. He took advantage of the situation and made a lot of money. One day, his own son became ill. He couldn't make the correct diagnosis and gave the wrong medicine. The illness became very serious. He took his son to his friend, who was a qualified doctor, but even he couldn't control the disease. Finally, the boy died because of his father's limited knowledge.
