Has been seen sneaking around her former location, together with a Dutch doctor ( hopefully with his hat in order ). Wonder what they are up to.
At least she had the guts to come back
"Dr" Gloria Christie is back in town,,,,,,
Hasn't she made enough money to retire comfortably?Icebear wrote:Has been seen sneaking around her former location, together with a Dutch doctor ( hopefully with his hat in order ). Wonder what they are up to.

Please don't tell me she is trying to reopen by buying the name of another doctor!
Unless she is trying to sell her "goodwill" to a foreign doctor?
It appears parents and people who don't gossip in the right bars are not the only people who didn't know she was not an MD.

(go to find on this page and search for 'Gloria'). CCJAP was an AusAID funded project, was it not? I do hope AusAID are asking themselves a few questions about how they screen people who are hired for their projects. Very handy training. At least it now becomes clear how she met the Monivong Hospital doctor who gave her his license for decorating her wall.

Does anyone know a Khmer doctor who wants to rent his MD diploma from the Phnom Penh Medical School by the month?chlim01 wrote:My colleague spotted her this morning. Anyone know if she's planning to resume her medical practice?
Maybe what "Dr" Christie has accumulated over the years is not enough for her.
Where else could a foreign nurse get the sense of power that comes from being the boss of so-called (Khmer) doctors in one's own clinic or being able to make life-and-death diagnoses that send parents and spouses and the patients on the next flight to Bangkok?
The high must be worth as much as the easy money collected from awed parents who think that a foreign nurse is better than any so-called Khmer MD.
Not to defend Gloria, but...A western-trained nurse is more likely to be better or at least more medically competent than a Cambodian-trained doctor, since a western-trained nurse almost certainly earned her credentials as opposed to a Cambodian-trained doctor who is as likely to have bought his degree as earned it....a foreign nurse is better than any so-called Khmer MD.
That's not the point really, question to our American fellows: What would the sentence be in the US for acting as a medical dr for years and only being a nurse ????? 50 years,,,,?fopro wrote:Not to defend Gloria, but...A western-trained nurse is more likely to be better or at least more medically competent than a Cambodian-trained doctor, since a western-trained nurse almost certainly earned her credentials as opposed to a Cambodian-trained doctor who is as likely to have bought his degree as earned it....a foreign nurse is better than any so-called Khmer MD.
It was one of horlavy's points and that's who I was addressing.That's not the point really ...
It would be more to the point to ask your Australian or Cambodian fellows since that's where she was from and where she committed the offence....question to our American fellows: What would the sentence be in the US for acting as a medical dr for years and only being a nurse ????? 50 years,,,,?

For minor ailments, I would self-medicate before I go and see a Cambodian-trained doctor in Cambodia.
So that I am not quoted out of context, I will post what I wrote.
My real point is that, even if I was a Cambodian-born MD from Harvard or Yale (having done my pre-med at, say, Stanford) , many of the Khmer parents and patients would prefer to be diagnosed by"Dr" Gloria Christie than by someone like me.horlavy wrote:

And if "Dr" Gloria Christie misdiagnosed any of them, I am not sure I can totally blame "Dr" Christie for knowing how to take advantage of these people.

I do think that businesses should have their paperwork in order, and that people should not pose as doctors when they aren´t.
But I was quite satisfied with her services and so were several others I spoke to, perhaps some of you have heard of the saying
"in the land of the blind, one-eye is king"
probably she is only a nurse but as long as she helps people with their problems, who cares?
I would say that most of you would agree that she is better than the vast mayority of khmer doctors (Unless you like getting plastic bags full of multicoloured pills to cure simple ailments together with an infusion just for show)
I tend to believe the woman who says that Gloria misdiagnosed her daughter, but these things will happen with real doctors too. That is why the phrase "second opinion" was invented.
In other words, I prefer to get a good diagnosis from a nurse than a total bullshit one from a fully cambodian-licenced cambodian guy.
Anyway the choices are getting more interesting: an expensive SOS-clinic, a doctor who was once accused of kiddy fiddling, a nurse posing as doctor, or perhaps a kmer doc. dealing in smarties and lets not forget those vietnamese doctors with their injections and their smarties.
Healthcare has never been so interesting, the choices are overwhelming, and all sound too good to be true.
Have fun next time you are sick
