Prompted by the greed to find a vocation for themselves, these persons make self-boosting claims about their medical skills and engage in some clinical practice. When they hear that someone is sick, they present themselves and make themselves heard, announcing their qualities as a physician in loud voices. They also make it a point to repeatedly highlight the faults of the physician who retaliates or becomes a competition for them. They try to befriend the associates and friends of the patients by making them happy, praising them and also serving them. They also emphasize that they expect very little for the services rendered. When they are confronted with a situation in which they have to function as a physician, they look here and there frantically trying to cover up their ignorance. Being unable to manage the disease, they blame the patient by saying that they do not have the necessary tools, or do not have assistants or are not disciplined. When the patient shows sign of succumbing to the disease, they relocate to another place excusing themselves. Amongst the common people, they brag about their skills in a contradictory manner revealing their lack of skills, exposing themselves as cowards, they downgrade the courage of the valiant persons. But when they see knowledgeable people, they move out of their way to avoid a confrontation just as wayfarers avoid thick forests out of fear. Whatever concepts they know, they constantly refer to them in inappropriate or altogether different contexts. They are fearful of any questions. They fear questions like death. Moreover, it is not possible to get any information about their teachers, disciples or colleagues or if mentioned, it is controversial. [8-9]
