This article describes a phony "doctor" who was arrested in Oregon. if you read the article, the woman who ended his charade was someone who had given him "several thousand dollars for gastric bypass surgery." Now maybe it's just me, but don't you think a potential patient for this kind of surgery would do a smidge of research into her potential surgeon, before letting just anyone cut them open? Strange how trusting some people are. Or how easily they can be duped, I guess. Good thing the surgery never happened!

WOW I definetly research everyone especially a Doctor AMAZING how trusting some people can be

That's horrible and sad. Never underestimate the mindset of someone who is desperate. I really wonder if this "doctor's" patients were that desperate, without insurance or who knows.
