He Faked Being a Doctor For Years - The Gerald Barnbaum Story

from Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast · host Ray William Johnson

Gerald Barnbaum was a conman who spent decades posing as a medical doctor despite never being one. Born in 1933 in Chicago, he was originally a licensed pharmacist, but his license was revoked. Rather than reform, Barnbaum found a new and more dangerous way to exploit the medical system: he began impersonating real physicians, using their stolen identities to practice medicine illegally.
