<< Tom, is a DVM who has gone through vet school at CSU, residence at Auburn
and been published many time the "real thing" or quack? How about the same
vet that also uses alternative treatments in the practice along with
traditional treatments - Are they still the "real thing" or a quack? If
they went to vet school at UF instead of CSU does that qualify them as a
"real thing" or a quack. Tell us Tom, where does the "real thing" end and
quackery begin.
A friend of mind (an sports medicine doctor who was a med student at JHU
during my tenure there as a lowely grad student) has always said - if an MD
didn't get his degree at Johns Hopkins, then he is not a real MD, he is a
quack. Now Tom, where did your Dr. buddy get his degree?

Pard, I've got a whole lot of Dr. buddies. Over the next few weeks they'll
all get faxes or Email from me concerning whether or not a manipulation of
the equine knee that sounds like a 30-30 going off is genuine medicine. I'm
certain many of them are going to have trouble typing out their answers due
to the tears forming in their eyes.
Meanwhile, just to give you something to weep and wail about, I'll say that I
consider most, if not all, practitioners of "alternative" medicine quacks,
whenther or not they have DVM of VMD behind their names. However, there are
plenty of mainstream medical folk who are so stupid or ill-informed that they
are, in effect, quacks as well. There are a few dozen of these, though, that
I have found to be trustworthy and knowledgeable enough to shut me up if I
get off on a tangent. These are the experts I'll submit Joe's question to. If
one or more of these tells me I'm an idiot--I'll publish that response. Fair
enough for you?
