... And Did I Mention I'm Not Really A Doctor? No?
Science Daily passes on a UPI summary of a New York Times article indicating that baseball's top doctor, Dr. Elliot Pellman, inflated his resume substantially:
Pellman has said repeatedly in biographical statements he has a medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In fact, the 51-year-old attended medical school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and received a medical degree from the New York State Education Department after a one-year residency at SUNY Stony Brook, state records show. He does not hold a medical degree from Stony Brook, a university hospital spokesman said.Well, it could be true. But what would you rather hear: that your doctor studied in the U.S., or in Guadalajara? Those aren't really steroids -- they're cough medicine...In a resume sent to Congress and Harvard, Pellman indicated he is a fellow of the American College of Physicians. However, he is not -- he lost the coveted title of fellow when he stopped paying dues six years ago. He is no longer even a member of the American College of Physicians, said spokeswoman Susan Anderson.
In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Pellman blamed the errors on his staff.
