Donald Lee-Edwards, of New York, never graduated medical school or earned a doctoral degree to be licensed for either profession, Acting Richmond County District Attorney Daniel Master said. But he prescribed patients medications and took blood and urine samples, investigators said.
"He merely bestowed upon himself the professional titles of clinical psychologist and medical doctor," Master said. "He is neither trained nor licensed to provide any mental health or medical services."
Prosecutors said Lee-Edwards had been seeing patients since 2013, billing himself as having worked "extensively with family members and victims of 9/11," although it was unclear if he actually did.
Lee-Edwards' attorney Matthew Blum said there is no evidence he ever harmed anyone.
"They're alleging he was some sort of doctor who was operating on people," Blum said. "They're turning this guy into a monster. He was really just trying to help some people in his community."
Investigators said Lee-Edwards came to the attention of law enforcement after a patient became suspicious of his unorthodox bedside manner, talking about other patients, bragging he graduated high school at age 13 and saying he attended law school.

My opinion: If he never harmed anyone.. They should let him off with a warning to stop.

Na waoo...fake people all over.
A man's love or a woman's submission, which should come first?
Proper investigation should be done to know if he has harmed anybody.
They're everywhere in nigeria, most pharmacists(chemists) that prescribe drugs and sell drugs didn't even go to school at all.
Lol...Patient autonomy is sacred in the US, he should have known that instead of talking about other patients.
Anyways this should make US look into their healthcare system, last I checked, if you are not bleeding from a major artery or if you are not white with blond hair, you are less likely to receive a standard patient oriented medical care, that was why this guy evn had any patients to start with.
Ok seen

May Allah continue to bless you my President. Please do not forget to look into the issue of Petroleum Technology Development Fund(PTDF). There are a lot of scholarship racketeering going on there. They are kingpins running that agency, who award scholarships to their friends, family and kindred. The scholarships are also being sold to the public. This is not what it was meant to be. Thank you Mr President.
