That's nothing. A woman got away with working as a psychiatrist in the UK for two decades despite having no medical qualifications. She only got caught because she forged a patient's will (which, weirdly, is also how Harold Shipman got caught...)

WOW. I remember hearing Shipman's name but never knew any of the details. Good god.

Imagine being on meds or therapies prescribed by this lady. Going to need meds and therapy to deal with your meds and therapy.

Something like this happened at a facility I worked at. Honestly, faking being a shrink isn't anywhere near as hard as it sounds. Anyone with some self-confidence and ability to learn could pull it off.

I know a guy who is currently committing fraud both online and in person by falsely claiming to be a psychiatrist. Tried to report it and the state board doesn't appear to give the least fucks.

Even with the fake degrees, how was she able to get through a year of medical practice without formal medical education?
