In this March 14, 2010 file photo, William Hamman watches data on a computer as he supervises doctors during a cardiology simulation at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Hamman, an airline captain who lives in Michigan, claimed to be a cardiologist and trained other doctors in teamwork. But he never got a medical degree.
And he “supported” Obamacare?
Catch me if you can!!!
Why would a pilot want to be a fake doctor oO, you already have a pretty cool and well paying job...
but some of his coworkers comments seem to indicate he actually knew what he was doing as a doctor, maybe an ufortunate case of someone who had the skills but just couldn’t get past the ‘book learning’ required to become an official doctor, sad end for someone of his years in any case.
I find this exceptionally hard to believe in today’s data driven world. Almost all State Boards of Medical Licensure will verify licenses online to anyone at no charge. Furthermore, the American Board of Internal Medicine, which certifies Cardiologists also allows the public to verify certification online.
Any hospital or training institution who employs a physician without verifying basic information like licensure or Board Certification is grossly negligent.
Since I know that the ankle bone is connected to the leg bone and the leg bone to the thigh bone, am I now qualified to be an orthopedist?
This reminds me of a very strange situation where a community organizer scammed a whole nation into believing that he was the messiah. Couldn’t happen here though, as the MSM would see through his plan and alert us. /s
He stys at the Holiday Inn Express.
On the other hand, most of his schooling would have been
outmoded in todays world, and if he had a smattering of
knowledge he could probably fake it very well...many
cardiologists know the heart and its’ disorders very well
, and also what their particular speciality in cardiology
,,,for instance some know electrophysiology very well, and primarily practice that
aspect, doing things like pacers, internal defibrillators,
mapping electrophysiological processes, ablation of
aberrant electrical conduction in the heart, etc. So he
could have faked general cardiology very well, as long as
he didn’t see that many “run of the mill” patients.
After all, post-book learning, it’s all about seeing patients, learning it as you go, going
to seminars, consulting with other physicians etc...
But you gotta fill in the dotted lines, and cross your t’s
and dot your i’s. Then they’ll believe you.(maybe)
Let’s not forget Ferdinand Waldo Demara, portrayed by Tony Curtis in the 1960 movie “The Great Imposter”.
