18 Year-Old Opens Medical Practice

File this under things you just can’t make up:

An 18 year old man was arrested after posing as a doctor and opening a fake medical practice. He had already been cited in 2015 for practicing medicine without a license:

I think he’s probably a go-getter. Hopefully he can get on a better path and put his creativity/ambition to good use.

Pharma Bro II?

“Hopefully he can get on a better path and put his creativity/ambition to good use.” - hopefully he will spend considerable number of years in prison pondering about life choices.

Shades of “The Great Imposter”

Catch me if you can… Oops.

Lol, @MiamiDAP. I would guess that he’s a little “off” but I was trying to be positive. Maybe his energy can be re-directed to something not illegal and potentially dangerous?

The website really is something to see (but I bet it will be shut down soon). He even hired employees and has their bios up. Here’s what it says about one of the “doctors”:

Dr. White recently received her Honorary Doctorate in Divinity for her many years of Teaching and Pastoring in ministry and excellent community service for over 30 years.

The About Us section contains some good info too. Query as to whether it’s straight from the canned website template or was written by the business owner?

Yes, will he become the next Pharma Bro or the next Frank Abagnale, Jr.?

Maybe someday he’ll work his way up to being a fake MD (instead of just a fake alternative medicine practitioner).
