"Physician", heal thyself













"Graduate Bashir Ahmed Mir doused himself in petrol and set himself alight after being unable to find work.

Onlookers doused his burning body in water and he was said to be in a stable condition in hospital last night.

Bashir trained in electro-homeopathy, an alternative medicine which originated in the 19th century.

He torched himself in Srinagar because his degree is not recognised by the Indian Medical Council, which regards the practice as "quackery""

The situation where a patient is on fire is the one example (other than thirst) where homoeopathic remedies actually might do some good. Pouring homoeopathic remedies (water) onto Mr Bashir put him out.

I wonder whether he is being treated using electro-homoeopathy for his burns? No, I don't really. I know he's mad enough to set himself on fire, but he's not that mad.
