I HAVE TO BE SPECIAL!!! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE!!!
Social media is a plague
The crime imho is not cosplaying as a doctor on Instagram but applying for medical jobs with a fake resume with fake degrees
I see nothing wrong on the screenshots of the now deleted Instagram profile, she’s doing paid modeling “this nail polish is so pretty”, “this scrub is so comfy” or saying the usual bullshit “remember to eat 2 fruit a day” but nowhere where she’s claiming to be a doctor or giving dangerous medical advice. Less dangerous than “doctor” Oz in the States.
if you get a job as a project manager in an hospital just because you knew that they didn’t check and lied to have 3 medical degrees, that’s a worse problem
the Facebook post has definitely got some misleading wording, though. “Trust me I know many physicians delay self care when we have 100 items on our plate”, for example, sounds like she’s trying to imply that she’s one of the physicians without explicitly saying it.
Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that’s regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.
Doctor Oz is actually a doctor though, despite everything. Used to be one of the most respected cardiothoracic surgeons in the world. Then his tv show happened…
It kinda is. The dude could probably take out your lungs and heart with his eyes closed. But he got corrupted.
From one Australian woman to another, she should have used that energy and tried acting instead.
Everybody plays a character of the person they want to present to the world on social media, so there needs to be more awareness that even if you can see their faces and hear their voices, you still can’t blindly trust people to be who they claimed to be online, and you should always exercise a healthy dose of skepticism on what you read or watched.
Trust me, after all, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie ever lie to you?
I’m not a doctor, I just played a clown doctor on TV.
Don’t go takin’ medical advice from me on anythin’ now.
Don’t go takin’ medical advice from me on anythin’ now.
Would this be considered medical advice?
Every molecule in my brain screams about it’s not. But there’s still that tiny little comedian in my brain that goes, “what if there were a dinosaur in that lake?”
There are a ton of people pretending to be doctors on Tik Tok. Anybody wearing scrubs and a stethoscope at home is LARPing.
I’d actually believe it if they looked like they had a long shift, and a lot of hospital shifts are already 12 hours, at least in my experience supporting various medical systems (as in groups of hospitals, clinics, etc).
Then they can have their scrubs on for a short little “check in” with viewers. Most people who wear scrubs sweat their asses off all day, and most likely have at least one strangers bodily fluid on them. They change out of it.
My wife, for example once came home, stripped in the laundry room and tossed it in the wash, then went to shower. She wouldn’t speak of what happened. Her position is also unlikely to deal with bodily fluids, but there we were. She also carried a pair of scrubs in her car trunk in case she needed to change mid shift.
Shit, sometimes quite literally, happens in hospitals and no one is immune.
"Defence barrister Erasmus Lovell-Jones said his client had an underlying psychological fragility which made it difficult for her to say no in social situations.
He said Karezi – who was studying a bachelor’s degree in health science – met a person who believed she was studying medicine, and when she did not correct them it spawned a misunderstanding that opened doors for her."
What kind of horse shit defense is that? Someone should check if this defense attorney has underlying phycological fragility themself.
I have a psychological fragility that makes it hard for me to not steal spirits from the liquor store and I demand justice.
I recommend getting your spirits from the local graveyard, it’s free there.
underlying psychological fragility
Jesus Christ.
It’s things like this which gives ammo to conservatives to call the next generation weak.
In their defence, this is their only legal defence so they’re basically trying to worm their way out getting in trouble for being a liar so I’m not too sure they’re concerned about using made up and exaggerated statements for things that are subjective. It’s also a lawyer saying this, I’d argue that lawyers lean conservative but have no idea really. Also, from what I’ve seen when a liberal does this they’re weak and when a conservative does this it’s smart or playing the system, it’s always been a bad faith argument anyway
