Cops: Woman Posed as Doctor to Do Breast Exams

(AP)  Police arrested a woman in Idaho's capital city after they say she impersonated a plastic surgeon and conducted breast exams on at least two women in local bars.

Kristina B. Ross was arrested Tuesday and jailed on accusations of unlicensed practice of medicine.

It all started earlier this month, when Boise police were called to a downtown medical office by employees of a licensed plastic surgeon.

Police say the office was getting calls from prospective patients who wanted to see a Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna. But no doctor by that name worked at the office.

Police got contact information for the women who had called, interviewed them — and then identified the 37-year-old Ross, who isn't licensed to practice medicine.

A phone listing for a Kristina Ross in Boise was disconnected.

These women let themselves be examined in a bar?

Hmmm, could the proctologist I met at local watering hole bathroom have been lying to me about his credentials?
