Abstract
Medical librarians have to be knowledgeable not only in the area of best practice but also worst practice. Most medical librarians and other health information providers have to counter the claims of frauds and quacks at some time in their careers. To be responsible to physicians, patients, and consumers, it is important that librarians be aware of sources for reliable information on bad medical practices, frauds, and quacks.
