Fake doctor jailed for giving breast exams in bars

[Nagishkaw 510]

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) – An Idaho judge has set bond at $100,000 for a Boise woman police say posed as a physician and duped at least two other women into having their breasts examined by her at Boise-area nightclubs.

Kristina Ross, 37, remains in Ada County Jail in Boise on two felony counts of practicing medicine without a license.

Police say Ross introduced herself to victims -- one at a downtown Boise bar and the other at a nightclub in a Boise suburb -- as a plastic surgeon named Berlyn Aussieahshowna, a name that turned out to be bogus.

The two women told Boise officers they believed Ross was a physician because of her apparent medical knowledge, and they agreed to undergo what they thought were breast exams, which happened at the bars.

As part of her ruse, Ross gave the women the telephone number of a real licensed plastic surgeon in Boise, the state capital, authorities said.

Staff at that medical office became alarmed at the number of calls they received from women in recent weeks attempting to confirm appointments or surgeries with a Berlyn Aussieahshowna, according to charging documents.

Medical workers on Tuesday alerted Boise police about the pattern, and they later arrested Ross.

The suspect's gender is unclear. Idaho court records show that Ross was arrested for petty theft in the spring and that the arrest warrant was issued to a Kristoffer Jon Ross.

The Idaho Statesman website reported that Ross has a previous criminal record as a man but identifies herself as a woman and was booked into Ada County Jail as a female.

Cosmetic surgical procedures Ross discussed with victims after she touched their breasts under the guise of a medical evaluation included breast augmentation and liposuction.

The court on Wednesday found Ross was eligible for a public defender and set a preliminary hearing on the two felony charges for December 1. If convicted, Ross could face a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 for each count.

I've long offered free breast exams in bars, albeit not under the guise of free plastic surgery advice. Time to change my tactics!

What's crazy to me is the women are upset over something that took place in a bar... that should've never taken place in a bar. "He(she?) inappropriately touched me." Really? You were at a freakin bar! What on earth makes you think you're getting "legit" medical opinions from someone at a bar?

Kind of like the women who get "raped" at 3:00 AM in hotel rooms by strangers they just met at a bar. "I didn't know he was going to do that."

Read Penn Jillette's response on all that.

If a transvestite who poses as a female doctor checks you for a hernia, does that make you gay?

Why are people so stupid. Seriously, WTH.

By default, yes.

Maybe she's an ex employee of the TSA.
