It's very unfortunate this happened to you, especially when you needed them most!

I feel strongly that this person put you at risk. I feel that is very irresponsible. From what you have told us, it appears this person was practicing medicine without the necessary credentials. I hope your pdoc takes this very seriously, fully realizing this situation with his "assistant" puts his patients at risk. If he does not do something to fully address this situation, he could find himself named in one or more lawsuits. However, that is not the worst that might occur. Someone could be very hurt and/or could lose his/her life. Thanks for standing up and disclosing what has happened to you. You may have saved someone else's life. Good job!
