Bogus physician faces charges in Pennsylvania

A Pennsylvania woman was recently accused of identity theft and other charges after reportedly conducting physical examinations, including collecting urine samples, while using a Philadelphia psychiatrist’s medical license to pose as a physician. Joann Elizabeth Wingate, 56, allegedly advertised at a central Pennsylvania truck stop, offering physical exams for $65.

State police began investigating after they were contacted by a trucker whose physical exam report had been rejected by the California Department of Transportation. In September, the Pennsylvania Department of State suspended Wingate's chiropractic license for using deceptive, misleading advertisements, according to state records.
