I have been watching as Dr. Martin MacNeill is going on trial for the murder of his wife, and I am thinking it is about time. But, I keep hearing that he is a doctor and lawyer that forged transcripts to get into colleges in both medicine and law. So knowing he is a double major which many are I wondered how he pulled it off, and now that I know he was arrested for forgery I wanted some insight into his back ground to say the least. I have found that he is board certified believe it or not in Family, Emergency, Orthopedic Surgery, and he practiced Criminal Law. Where most double majors I know become a doctor and a lawyer to specialize in malpractice cases, and most do not become specialized in any certain field of medicine. I did see were he can no longer practice medicine and that it will be 10 years before he can apply for licensure. He was licence in Washington and Utah.
I am amazed that this guy could have pulled this off for so long. Just think you have to have 3 forms of identification to take the boards and transcripts to submit plus rigorous interviews. I don't know about the bar but evidently he had to pass the bar as well to practice law. How can you forge all that? Now I am wondering if he ever cared for patients and if so in what fields?
If he goes free for murder I am sure that what ever patients or clients he had while practicing medicine and law will sue him out the Ying-Yang. Really the doctor of family,emergency medicine and law is bad enough, but I wonder how many ortho patients was subjected to his use of the gigli saw? Yikes This guy reminds me of the movie "Catch Me If You Can" although the true life character in the movie never killed his wife or was licensed to practice medicine in two states.
This is truly scary that this could happen not just killing his wife, but all his forgeries and malpractice that he got away with for years.
