It is said to imply with paucity in knowledge is dangerous.

Once there was a doctor.  He had an assistant.  Whenever a patient came to the doctor the assistant used to observe him carefully.    One day the doctor was visiting an ailing friend to check him at his house.  He took the assistant with him.  When he was leaving his friend after checking, the friend asked him whether he can do anything with his camel, which has swallowed a whole melon which stuck in its throat.  “Ok, let me see, what I can do”.  The doctor ordered to lay the camel on the floor, and put a brick under it neck, where the neck was bulging out.  The doctor hit hard on the bulging neck thus broke the melon, and the camel gulped it down.  The assistant was observing all this.

Later on the assistant left the doctor and opened his own shop in a village.  One day a patient having a big gland in his neck was brought to him.  The assistant at once remembered what the doctor did to the camel with similar problem. So he hit the gland with a hard blow, the gland busted and the patient died.  What happened to the assistant is anybody’s guess.
