So, a Pennsylvania woman was recently arrested for allegedly using bogus medical credentials to illegally perform physicals on more than a dozen men. The only thing she was missing was her Fisher-Price stethoscope. She mainly targeted one truck stop. 56-year-old, Joann Elizabeth Wingate is now facing charges including felony charges including felony forgery and identity theft after a former patient became suspicious and contacted police, leading to the discovery of at least 16 victims. THAT IS HILARIOUS!
The truck driver, who cam forward, told police that he saw an ad for physicals, like the ones required for his commercial driver's license, posted at the Blue Beacon Truck Wash in Middlesex Township. Middle-Sex is what he got alright! It sounds like this guy was molested by a woman who pretended to be a doctor! Anyway, after contacting the number listed, he said a "Dr. Wingate" picked him up and brought him back to her home (red flag!) where she performed a physical for $65 including a hernia check and everything else a doctor would do. The weird thing was that she even asked the truck driver for a urine sample for a "protein test." Is it possible that Wingate just needed his urine sample?
The driver became suspicious when an official with the California Department of Transportation contacted him over issues with his trucker's license. After investigating Wingate's credentials online, he decided to investigate on his own and returned to her home office for a second visit, where he photographed her medical certificate and handed it over to the police. The photos disturbingly revealed that not only did Wingate have two chiropractic license numbers that were suspended and inactive, but she was using the license info of a Philadelphia-area psychiatrist who shared her last name. This is too much! The alleged mad doctor was arrested on June 28 and held at the Cumberland County Prison on $10,000 bail.
During the search of her home, state troopers also reported finding a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, in addition to several signs and brochures advertising her services. Authorities suspect that there may be many more victims who were molested by Wingate and are asking for anyone with information about her practice or believes they may be a victim to contact them at (717) 254-4701. No motive has been revealed at this time, but is it possible that maybe she wanted to use her victim's urine samples as her own for random drug testing at her job? Besides faking to be a doctor, what did Wingate really do wrong here? Maybe she was lonely and just wanted to see a bunch of naked truckers. Any way you look at it, this story is just bizarre and way better than that exotic animal killer.
