Im having trouble finding evidence that an ObamaCare supporter who spoke at Barney Franks town hall meeting last night, identified by the Associated Press and other media outlets as a Newton, MA doctor, actually is a doctor.
(Excerpt) Read more at bucksright.com ...
She’s not a doctor...but she plays one at town hall meetings.
Barney Frank’s not a proctologist but, well...you know.
If Barney Frank say”Get thee behind me,Satan.” what is he REALLY saying?
Granted, there’s some flaky doctors in this world, but she doesn’t even look like one.
“she hoped for changes that would support primary care physicians who arent paid as much as specialists”
Hey lady, did it occur to you that the consequence of that will be that your primary care office visits and routine primary care will become more expensive?



In the article on her stupid car she is referred to as a “ trained “ doc so maybe she did graduate med school but doesn’t practice now??
OR more likely no one ever checked out her claim since her views aligned with media
Had a hang up about one of those tasks in acting school... if you were a tree, what would you be?
There isn't much call for weeping willows except in Health Care "town halls", so....
I just ran across this. Hmmmmmmmmm.

She is listed in the AMA’s directory. She has also been politically active. Google “Sheila Leavitt, M. D.”. You’ll find hits on DU and elsewhere.
Fwiw.
Dr.Ben Dover,I presume?
OR more likely no one ever checked out her claim since her views aligned with media
+++++++++++++
Fact checking is so last century.
That he watched the South Park episode with Satan and Saddam and wants to play?
Newton, my hometown(upper middle class to wealthy elitist liberals) is full of doctors. This one is probably a legit left wing freakazoid doctor who has had her lic. to practice medicine revoked ;-)
Gee! are you trying to kill the POD brand!
She is for the bill if it will pay her more, while, at the same time, one of the espoused purposes of the bill is to cut cost. Well, lady, welcome to the world of deflated income for your expensive health service. Want to make money, become a plumber. Of course with Joe on the enemies list that may not be an option long.
Yeah? Where?

Shiela Leavitt shows off one of her chickens inside the coop at her home in Newtonville, Thursday, Dec. 18, 2008. Leavitt, a vegetarian, keeps the chickens solely for the eggs and ends up giving away a lot of the eggs to friends and neighbors.
Isn’t portraying a doctor illegal?
HHHHMMMMMMMM.....She seems to be missing

I would say this chicken lady the same Sheila Leavitt who posed as a doctor at Frank’s town hall.
Ah! The Dover family Ben, Dick and their lovely sister Eileen.
Possibly not her husband but they are somehow related. Found a listing for him with the same home address as her and Peoplefinders shows her with the Lichtman aka.
Here is a blurb from the Puddle Jump Players website:
Director Sheila Leavitts Italian connection goes back to her college days, when she toured the countryside by moped. Though a doctor by training, parenthood revealed other plans soon after graduation. Choosing to homeschool her four children (now ranging in age from 11 to 21), Leavitt became a full-time mother, assuming, among other challenging roles, that of PJP director in 1993.
More recently, after learning Italian, she ventured back to the countryside of her youth, only to return Stateside a homeowner. Interested in parlaying her new-found insights on Italian real estate into gainful employment, Sheila became a licensed realtor and established Italy House Scout, traveling to Italy where she investigates properties on behalf of clients.
Palazzi Ragazzi now affords her the opportunity to simultaneously indulge two passions: Italy and her Puddlejump family.
Impersonating a doctor....I thought it was illegal but I haven’t heard any followup.
More blogging about her credentials here:
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/012019.html
She shows up all over the web from a simple google search, and everywhere she represents herself as an MD.
These people’s credibility have been completely destroyed. They’re lead by a pathological liar and a fraud. Why would anyone trust any “supporter’s” or representative’s claims at this point? Whether it’s a facade at a town hall, the White House or in Congress...the lack of integrity has been completely null and voided.
Transparency? Yeah, I see right thru him...

Sheila Leavitt appears to be a DUmmie, as well.
Hey chick, under Obamacare, specialists will be grateful to make what a PCP now makes, and PCPs will probably be happy to make what a taxi driver now makes. Happy now? Welcome to Cuba/Russia/take-your-pick-where-it-has-not-worked.
Associated Press (DNC Propagandea outlet): "Dr. Sheila Leavitt, a physician from Newton,
said she hoped for changes that would support primary care physicians who arent paid as much as specialists.
She said some of the rowdy critics at Tuesdays meeting appeared to be using the same talking points
as those who showed up at similar meetings around the country."
Dr. Sheila Leavitt, a physician from Newton, not listed in the Massachusetts registry, either.

Voila, she is a Real Estate Broker:
Sheila Leavit's "protest car"

My first link was broken: here it is http://www.algore04.com/archives/al-gore-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize
“This theater group couldn’t have happened the way it has without this network in place,” said Leavitt, noting how quickly word spread when she started the group that relies on parents for everything from costumes to stage management.
A pathologist who quit her job to homeschool her four children, Leavitt says that she has met most of her best friends through the homeschooling network.” http://www.homeeducator.com/HSN/outofthehouse.htm
The woman WAS a pathologist -—a friggin specialist didn’t even take care of patients. AND she started a theater group for her home schooled children ( I don’t fault her necessarily for that) but that is all that she does now. She has been at this since 1993. How dare she claim to be a practising doctor. Yeah big deal she graduated with an MD. I grant her that. Not everyone passes their boards. Moreover she hasn’t practise in over 15 years. She is a nutwing activist.
Keep up the great work people, Michelle Malkin is on this as well and may be linking this thread!
Ahhhh, A spin doctor.
On the fourth reply on this thread promoting Al Gore, we learn the correct spelling of her name Sheila Leavitt, M.D. and her address XXXX Parkway Road Newton, MA 02460 as well as her phone number 671-840-82xx.
Using these facts we can confirm that this is the same Sheila Leavitt that is a buyers agent for Italian Real Estate as the adress matches the information in the previous link. We also learn her email: sheila@italyhouseXXXXX.com
Using this email, we can confirm she is the same Sheila Leavitt that organizes anti war protests:
"Rally Sept. 24

I'm sure your readers are aware of the Sept. 24 D.C. rally to end the war in Iraq and to urge impeachment of Mr. Bush?
Sept. 24 is the Saturday two weeks from this weekend, soon after the start of classes, and therefore a potentially easy time for Berkeley students to get away to D.C. for this important event.
In addition, on September 24th 2005, there will be a mass anti-war protest in San Francisco. The protest will gather at 11 am in Dolores Park (19th and Dolores). More details about the march route and speakers will be made available over the next few months. Flyer For Protest
I hope you will place this information prominently in your paper and that many young members of the Berkeley community will find the time to show up in D.C. A forceful public statement is needed from the millions of people who are dismayed by the current administrations policies. We 55 year old moms and 80 year old grannies can't do it all.
You are the people for whom the future is being pawned: WHERE ARE YOU?
Best,
Sheila Leavitt, Newton, Massachusetts
This needs to be on Beck or O’Reilly.
I searched the Directory of Physicians in the United States 2009 via the SSA network. She’s listed in Newton. I can’t speak for the accuracy of the listing, but I can confirm that it is there.
Her real name is Sheila Lichtman, and she is married to Andrew H. Lichtman, M.D. who apparently is a practicing doctor.
She claims to own 4 homes (in Tuscany and Liguria , as well as Maine and the Boston Massachusetts area) and is the same Sheila Leavitt that works with the "puddlejump" players theater group that included her son Amos Lichtman who is quite a brilliant homeschooled kid as shown in this article.
