Since at least January 1, 1978, it has been a violation of Texas laws concerning the practice of medicine for a person:
(a) to diagnose, treat, or offer to treat any disease or disorder when that person is not licensed to practice medicine in Texas;
(b) for an unlicensed person to impersonate a licensed practitioner; and
(c) for a licensed physician to permit another unlicensed person to use his license or certificate to actually practice medicine. I.G. Ex. 66, 7/ 11 at 141-143; I.G. Ex. 99.
As such, it is a separate subsection of the criminal statute to claim you are a “medical doctor”, not just a “doctor” which could legally be a PhD. In her case, she claimed to be a Pediatrician. There is *no* non-licensed as a Medical Doctor form of being a Pediatrician.
I guarantee you that no one is going to hold her accountable for that. Democrats can do just about anything and get a pass time after time. She should be held up as a public shame on the Obama team. When they have to use these kinds of tactics they are losing the argument.
BTW, it is also against law to impersonate a military officer, police officer, etc. Yet, no one is arrested for merely claiming to be such.
