In Turkey, a high school freshman was arrested for a year after pretending to be a doctor. Her 20-year-old, Ayşe Özkiraz, is facing serious scrutiny for her behavior, especially since she has been in contact with patients and she was in charge of patient care.

high school graduate

Using false documents, he claimed that Ozkiras graduated from Istanbul University’s Chapa Medical College, which was not true. She wasn’t really a medical student or an intern, just a high school graduate.

under pressure

long con
Despite her confession, Ozkiras’ mother Semra Arslan believes her daughter must be innocent. “My doctor was with me. She was taking pictures with my doctor. When we chatted on the video call, she was sitting in the room with the nurse. Are these all lies? We can’t understand anything!”
Arslan believes someone else was involved in the debacle and justice must be faced. “My kid would never try something like that,” she says. Ozkiras was charged with “opposing the law of medicine and medical practice.”
