Vijay Chokalingam was cold busted after claiming to be black and absolutely nothing happened. He stayed in medical school until he flunked out.[/quote]

Well.. He's about as black as any Black out there and people from his land ancestors did endure slavery in the US (Google Indentured/Slave labor from India to the United States).  If a recent Nigerian immigrant's kids can qualify for the Black 'quota', why not him?[/quote]

It is fraud. People hope and expect to have honest doctors.

Spend a few years of your life pursuing a medical malpractice case and you'll find yourself wondering how the heck [b]someone with a documented history of fraud gets to be your husband's physician.[/b] [/quote]

Well.. He was admitted based on his grades, wasn't he?  Obviously the school thought he was good enough to become a doctor.  To me this is the equivalent of someone crossing the border illegally.  Would you consider them to be fraudsters all their life?

Confused about your last sentence.. Did he end up becoming your husband's doctor? I thought he dropped out..[/quote]

You aren't the least bit confused. You just want to brawl with someone anonymously.

How / Why he was admitted is a related but distinct issue. The guy engaged in fraud and to this day profits from it.

Nobody should have to worry whether or not their doctor is dishonest.

Here is related but distinct anecdote - my accountant is SLOW as molasses. But he has been tested and proven himself to be honest. He will always have my business.

My house cleaners entered the country illegally.  I have no issues trusting them with my house keys.  You see how this works both ways?  When you put artificial walls and someone scales it, not everyone thinks that's wrong. I know I don't and a lot of people I know think that way as well.  [/quote]
