    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.

          Misrepresentation membership to a professional organisation that’s regulated (in this case, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency regulates it) is illegal.

    There are a ton of people pretending to be doctors on Tik Tok. Anybody wearing scrubs and a stethoscope at home is LARPing.

    We had someone in our online friends group saying she was a physician as well. It began to sound weirder and weirder based on some wrong medical stuff she was saying and because we found out about a friend of her and could narrow down her age. Turned out she was I think doing her first medical education year for the second time

    "Defence barrister Erasmus Lovell-Jones said his client had an underlying psychological fragility which made it difficult for her to say no in social situations.

    He said Karezi – who was studying a bachelor’s degree in health science – met a person who believed she was studying medicine, and when she did not correct them it spawned a misunderstanding that opened doors for her."

    What kind of horse shit defense is that? Someone should check if this defense attorney has underlying phycological fragility themself.

      His job is to defend her to the best of his ability. If there is no good defense for what she did then he is obligated to make a bad one as long as that defense doesn’t involve direct lies.

      I have a psychological fragility that makes it hard for me to not steal spirits from the liquor store and I demand justice.

        I recommend getting your spirits from the local graveyard, it’s free there.

    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?

    The internet is too much for humans. It’s our downfall accelerated. We were already probably doomed. This cranked it up to certainty.
