Photographer’s Note
Yes Quack doctor or ...
To be honest I'm not mystical by nature, no I always want to be in the lead and have anything under control. Well with this attitude I was looking to a doctor that literally “pushed” blood out of the back from this man. Well pushed, he spit water on his back, pushed with his hand a bit and blood was flowing.
It was on a market at Kota Belud, east Malaysia on the Island Kalimantan. We were just strolling the market, seeing things, smelling, tasting and well there I witnessed a doctor with a man who probably had a problem. The doctor first drank some fluid, rubbed the man his back and spitting water on top of it. Instantly you saw blood flowing. He slapped the man a couple of times and he probably helped the man because he was very happy after this miracle. It is so easy to deny something like this happening or at least tell that it is all a swindle, but hey maybe not!!

Good journalism in this. The action is caught well. What I find most interesting is the line up of expressions in the audience. The mobile phone holder is a nice detail, no doctor can be without his beeper ;o)

It rather looks like a public punishment, doesn't it? Thank you for explanation!
