Dear Doctor, please don't use fake credentials to get licensed and practice

I am thinking that this guy and the Mid-east physician who doesn't like Jewish people could set up one hell of a clinic together.

You are one lousy risk manager.

I read that article with growing shock, anger, and sadness.   Were I (or more accurately my wife) one of his victims, well...  let's just say that my thoughts wander rather far from the "polite" part of APS.

Wow. Sounds like this guy went to a lot of trouble to get where he was. It also makes you very leery of anyone in the medical community who hasn't been through a comprehensive background check, up to and including verification of education credentials from a legit domestic institution.

MillCreek's posts on APS have me viewing my medical appointments with a lot more trepidation.

Ignorance was bliss.

If you are just now getting there you are too late. Luckily I have always had a choice of good docs to see and recently I have been going to a Nurse Practioner Residency Clinic. They are graduated ARNPs but are getting another 18 months of training under a Physician before they are turned loose. I like that they do that, plus with an ARNP I can drive my care a little better. ;)
