I don't know what it says about psychiatry. I wouldn't be surprised if it says something about politics, false economy, and decisions being made by the wrong people so that there was a loophole to exploit.What does it say about psychiatry that you can get away with no qualifications for this long without any peers picking up on it.
Also it also says a lot about the individual and her lack of honesty, integrity and care for others. The slim facts we read in this article don't say anything much about psychiatry.

Mwhaahahaaahahahaha!
Not sure if this is the right place for this, since it's actually psychiatric news...
I guess the fact she got away with it for so long is indicative as to how "useful" psychiatry is?
I remember reading about this several years ago. Presumably it's back in the news because it's come to court.
There have been a few nurses here in Canada who have been discovered to have been working for years in Canadian hospitals without being licensed to practice medicine. The one woman was using another nurses name and credentials.Why weren't credentials verified?
Maybe they're never verified???
This would make a good movie....
They made something very similar called Catch Me If You Can.This would make a good movie....
I could really use a Dr Harold Shipman right now, thanks to the UK's barbaric anti-euphenasia laws.Shades of Shipman?
