What pisses me off, is these politicians parading people in the health care industry around who support this bull shit.  I think some doctors are getting off knowing that they may have authority to actually force people how to live instead of the usual recommendations.

At the town hall meeting yesterday, the panel was nearly orgasmic about the idea of federal laws forcing us into lifestyle changes.




Mark, you're good at this, make us proud!

According to her son posting over at "Bucks Right" she hasn't practiced medicine in 26 years and met her husband at Medical School.





http://www.bucksright.com/another-phony-doctor-woman-at-frank-meeting-not-in-database-4291





My research on that:





Andrew Lichtman (her husband) graduated from Univ. of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry in 1981. He then did his residency from 7/1/82 until 6/30/86 and was granted his medical license on 2/6/85.





http://profiles.massmedboard.org/MA-Physician-Profile-View-Doctor.asp?ID=22728





That matches up with what the son says. So if Sheila hasn't practiced medicine in 26 years that takes us back to 1983 when she too would have presumably been doing or have just completed her internship.





Interestingly I just realized that the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine list all doctors regardless of license status so if she had previously held a license and allowed it to lapse it should show on there.





That appears to indicate therefore that Sheila decided to get married after her one year medical internship (as opposed to undertaking a two to seven year residency) and never got a medical license. Sheila therefore is legally an M.D. but not a licensed physician allowed to practice medicine independently.

Passing herself off as a doctor was in fact a lie then.

It is all semantics, by graduating from medical school she is apparently allowed to use the title doctor (just as anyone with a doctorate can) and can use the suffix M.D. she cannot claim to be a licensed and/or practicing physician.

She now drives a vegetable oil powered beetle that she is decorating with anti-handgun slogans:







Is she paying her state and Federal road-use taxes? Normally those taxes are part of the cost of a gallon of fuel. Non-road tax fuel ("farm fuel") can't legally be used in non-agricultural vehicles (it varies from state-to-state, VA allows "farm vehicles" limited highway use).



NC has prosecuted hippy tax-cheats who use untaxed recycled restaurant vegetable oil as vehicle fuel on the public highways.



Tax-denying extremist!







Two words: BIG FINES!





But if she settles her tax evasion, she could be an Obama political appointee.




I thought not paying your taxes was a prerequisite for those positions....

A bunch tried that in the 60s and 70s.  It didn't work because socialism takes away motivation to work, just like all the most socialist states  like California and New York are failing. They seem to think that scaling up the experiment will make it successful.  They think that ignoring human nature will make it go away.

report her to the Mass State Medical Board for impersonating a physician


She might actually be an MD.

She could be non-practicing... she might be one of those "doctors" who just went to med school and never did a residency (went into research, wrote books, etc).  Actual practicing physicians might frown on the latter person referring to themselves as "doctor," but it may be legal, provided she's not attempting to practice.



Remember those lipitor commercials with Dr. Jarvik (artificial heart inventor). I know alot of practicing MD's and pharmacist were pissed considering he wasn't licensed to practice medicine but the commercials made him out to be a premier cardiologist.

It's a little "stolen valor"-ish to pretend to be a physician when you're not... and pretension is universally bad.

You go through a real meat-grinder of a process to actually become a physician, and you sacrifice a lot of your youth, wealth, free time, and family time... so that title means something to most docs.  That said, I NEVER tell people I meet out in public that I'm a physician... and you'd never guess it by the way I talk, what I drive, or the way I dress.  

You can get really wrapped around the axle with titles, but I find it best not to advertise.

The non-practicing Mrs. Leavitt was apparently attempting to argue from authority with her title... which isn't necessarily a logical fallacy if the underlying argument is sound, and isn't necessarily out-of-bounds if used to add weight to a point, IF the speaker is actually an authority.  It becomes a completely illegitimate form of argument if one is NOT.  When one considers that she hasn't practiced at all in at least 20 years or so, her decades-old-and-unused medical degree is completely irrelevant.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder if all those "Joe the plumber didn't have a license!!!!111 OMG!!111" people in the media are OK with this woman?

He's more of a plumber than Mrs. Leavitt is a doctor.
