Reply to comment by RtuDtu in Woman posed as doctor for almost 20 years with fake documents by Mighty_L_LORT
You’re getting downvoted, but let’s be real, could you detect a fake therapist or a fake surgeon better? I feel like a fake surgeon would be a bit more obvious.
Also if she did any schooling, but just didn’t get her degree/license, then it probably is super easy to fake.
Especially since a lot of people are going to be people who have never been to see a therapist and wouldn’t know what to expect, and the ones that do will just write her off as being bad ( unless she was actually decent) and not think much of it.
A surgeon? Again, gonna be super obvious super fast. Got lots of eyes on you, and your patient outcomes are much more obvious.
So while your comment could be taken as a slight against those who practice, I don’t really see it that way, it seems more like the other people involved (the patient) is much easier to fool as a therapist than some other kind of doctor.

oh they're actually both made up :)
psychiatrists do prescribe drugs but to call them medicine is a stretch.
psychologists do their own thing but I'd hardly call it therapeutic.

Hell of a testimonial too.

>I don’t think they didn’t care, more sounds like it just didn’t come to mind.
Functionally no difference between either option. And, anyway, how would it not come to mind when the person in the wheelchair is the incumbent?

Why on earth did the writer have to use their full names every single time he mentioned them? We get it, their last name is Toto!

Discrimination for handicapped and discrimination based on age are the last refuges of the “ jerk “ Culture.

1 - it’s the UK so doctors are paid less, and it’s in pounds sterling. In late 90s 60k would have put you near the top of hospital doctor pay scale even for a consultant
2 - the article says up to 65000 a year for 20 years and just an estimate. Probably doesn’t include pension etc
3 - doesn’t include whatever she earned in private practice

The man in the wheelchair is literally the one who called it humiliating. You’re really trying to argue he is the negative one here?

Hey thanks for standing corrected it means an awful lot. I’m a wheelchair user and access professional and part of the reason I got into it was because I grew up around the audio visual industry funnily enough. My older bro was a tech, now an av engineer for some bigwig company that runs tours for people like imagine dragons and stuff. I have more fun watchin the techs run around at shows half the time lol. But seeing the creativity and struggle that folks went through for their gear was part of what got my “fucking a’ there’s gotta be a better way” gears turning and got me interested in my field. Access helps everyone and if the stages had ramps that were wheelchair grade it would suck less for crews.
Access is complex and every so often there are stages that just fuckin, won’t work and when they don’t you don’t host there. That one dedinetly could have and honestly I’d love to hear from the campaign if they called ahead. Because if I had a nickel for every place that told me they had ramps and then I showed up and they didn’t well, I could afford a team to carry around and lift my dang chair up for me!

No ramp? Trump might show up, and we know he can't walk down a ramp.

Power dynamics is not bullshit. Kids are taught to respect elders. When you hit 19 and somebody your dad's age tells you to do something, your first inclination is to do it.

Yeah I stand corrected on the historical requirements but I’ll admit being involved in the audio industry, most historic buildings don’t have access to their stages - most times the hallways and stairways to the stage don’t even meet current building codes (stairs and too tall and steep and narrow) - half the time equipment gets lifted onto stages from the front. Which is even hard for able bodied people.

In the article, he denies dating her. Which I feel makes the headline less silly, even if you don't belive him

Well, no she wasn't. She didn't commit any crime, since it's only illegal to pay for sex and it's not illegal to receive money.
You see, we don't criminalize as many people as humanly possible to generate profit for private owned prisons, because that's not something a civilised society would do..right?

Sorry, can't. Disabled people are unable to contribute to capital and the overall "wealth" of the system. Might as well not exist! Same for women who can't produce children and anyone else who can't keep it going. If the government euthanized everyone of the undesirables, the GDP would go up!

So 4 people. If a team of 12 can lift a small S10 sized truck a wheelchair and a man should be feasible

Typically you'd mention an individual solely by their last name after first mention, except where multiple people have the same last name. It's a puff piece, but they're still following style guidelines.
