When I was too young to know any better, I had a joke T-shirt that said: "Gynecologist in training, Patients needed."
In Dallas, a man has been arrested for taking the joke a bit too far.
A man arrested for allegedly posing as a doctor offered free gynecological services and set up an office in a self-storage complex, authorities said.I'm not defending what this guy did, but are some women really foolish enough to think a legitimate doctor would work out of a self-storage locker.The room looked like a real medical office, with numerous pieces of medical equipment, said Bridget Eyler, an assistant district attorney for Dallas County. Three women who reported their visits to the man's office were reluctant to discuss details, the prosecutor's office said.
Thomas Patrick Remo, 50, remained in custody Wednesday in lieu of $7,500 bond on three counts of practicing medicine without a license. He used the names Dr. Jim Patrick and Dr. Brian Jones and his office was in Cedar Hill, Eyler said.
And the sad part is, if the guy had gotten away with it for a few more weeks, he wouldn't have ever wanted to see another one for anything less than $150/hour!
