out... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_med_fake_doctor I posted
this link on my Facebook page with the following comments: "This
reminded me of the book Disciplined Minds by Jeff Schmidt. This book makes the interesting point that
none of the people who posed as a doctor were caught because of
incompetence. They were caught either
because somebody started digging their past because of jealousy or because
someone was doing a background check because they had been awarded some prize
or other. Check out www.disciplinedminds.com." Also you
might like to check out the curious case of Dr. Gabor Lukacs, a courageous
untenured prof at my old university -- the University of Manitoba. You can find a number of stories on Dr.
Lukacs here... http://oncampus.macleans.ca/education/?s=lukacs&submit=search Thanks for
your great book. I always recommend
it to everyone who wants to do a PhD, along with chapter 7 of Noam Chomsky's Understanding
Power. With best
wishes for a happy new year, Nalinaksha
