Anything is possible but I would be careful about posting something that could be considered slander without proof to back it up. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

If you know of such a case you are ethically bound to speak out against them. There is no way you can learn enough from watching TV to fully appreciate everthing that goes on in the health care setting.

There was a guy in CA that pretended to be an M.D. for a looonnnngggg time. He also was the guy that did physicals for the FBI I believe. He may (not sure) be the subject of that movie, "Catch Me If You Can"

I would imagine if you want to pretend to be someone that you're not, CA is the place to do it.

All the success stories I have heard about in this regard have learned mostly from books. Not much real meat on TV in comparison.
