[Goanet] Re : Why doctors become quacks

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

Dr Stephen Berrett who operates the Quackwatch.org website claims
to be  M.D in Psychiatry. He has no
expertise in any other field, People all over the globe have made an opinion of 
him:

The Courts in the US have also made an opinion of him:

Only laymen with little knowledge of science or scientifically
challenged persons will place trust in such non-experts, dishonest and 
pseudo-skeptics opinions and their
blogs and ignore that Conventional medicine is the third leading killer in the 
US, 250,000 deaths/year; as mentioned in the above sites.

Quackery is at least as big a problem in the world as medical malpractice.......
.....But all this raises one question: Why do doctors and other health 
professionals become quacks in the first place? 
The article linked below provides an answer to this question:

Some of the reasons stated in the article might apply to the situation here on
