I HAVE TO BE SPECIAL!!! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE!!!
From one Australian woman to another, she should have used that energy and tried acting instead.
Everybody plays a character of the person they want to present to the world on social media, so there needs to be more awareness that even if you can see their faces and hear their voices, you still can’t blindly trust people to be who they claimed to be online, and you should always exercise a healthy dose of skepticism on what you read or watched.
Trust me, after all, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie ever lie to you?
Because it is funny.
Messing with tech nerds IS really funny.
(I still 💖 you guys though)
You were still great in that thing. I think you were a doctor. I dunno.
I’m not a doctor, I just played a clown doctor on TV.
Don’t go takin’ medical advice from me on anythin’ now.
The crime imho is not cosplaying as a doctor on Instagram but applying for medical jobs with a fake resume with fake degrees
I see nothing wrong on the screenshots of the now deleted Instagram profile, she’s doing paid modeling “this nail polish is so pretty”, “this scrub is so comfy” or saying the usual bullshit “remember to eat 2 fruit a day” but nowhere where she’s claiming to be a doctor or giving dangerous medical advice. Less dangerous than “doctor” Oz in the States.
if you get a job as a project manager in an hospital just because you knew that they didn’t check and lied to have 3 medical degrees, that’s a worse problem
the Facebook post has definitely got some misleading wording, though. “Trust me I know many physicians delay self care when we have 100 items on our plate”, for example, sounds like she’s trying to imply that she’s one of the physicians without explicitly saying it.
Yes, but the point is that, afaik, that is not a crime, no?
Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that’s regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.
Ah wow, I didn’t know that, thanks!
The internet is too much for humans. It’s our downfall accelerated. We were already probably doomed. This cranked it up to certainty.
