I don't think you need a genuine doctorate to do that. He's still impersonating a licensed professional, though.<br /><br />I note also that before all the publicity on this hit, the AMA was going to let him complete the last seminar he was signed up to give; they merely reprinted the course material with the word "Captain" instead of "Doctor". That didn't happen once word got out.<br /><br />Favorite quote: "I couldn't handle a full-time cardiology practice."

Not ONCE has anybody at any site asked me for any kind of credential or identification. They have made an assumption because I work for X company as a pharmacist that I must BE a pharmacist and perfectly legal to go into their place of business and stick holes in their arms and inject stuff. So may it be with this guy. Where-ever he got into FIRST never checked HIS cred's and it opened doors at other places that made the assumption that because he worked at A, he must be ok to work at B...<br />ps.
