      Thank you very much for sharing the article, Pamela. It is amazing what she got away with. The authorities are trying to make up for that now. Better late than never, as the saying goes!

   That is an exciting article, Linda. I am surprised that Brigitte Cleroux could get away for so long despite having no medical qualification. Maybe this case would be an eye-opener for the authorities to prevent such happenings. Thanks for sharing.

   I read that article. Seems she was very clever to get through with her deceits, and I'm happy that she got caught. Still feeling sorry for her. She couldn't be mentally healthy.

      Your comment describes my feelings, too, Dora. I'm glad that she was caught in order to protect people, but I think she needs help.

   It is very unfortunate to read about Brigitte Cleroux who didn't complete her nursing training but worked as a fake nurse in Canada and in the US. My heart goes out to all the patients who were affected by the fake nurse's service. Part of my heart also goes out to the disguised nurse who serves in jail but has multiple personality disorders which are not being treated. Hopefully, her wellbeing and mental health will be considered and given appropriate professional treatment. Thank you, Linda, for sharing this interesting but important article. Everybody deserves to know about this nurse in disguise.

      Thank you for the comment, Rosina. A fake nurse has to be stopped and prevented from treating patients. I hope that in this case the person can be helped, even though experts have said it's not likely.

   It is amazing that this person was able to be hired and work as a nurse without the proper credentials.  She must have also faked her nursing license?  I do feel sorry for the patients who were under her care.  Hopefully no one died due to her incompetence.
    
   Thanks Pamela for sharing Linda's article with us.  I hope that now that she is in prison, she gets some treatment for her mental condition.

      Hi, Peggy. Yes, she assumed the identity of at least one real nurse who wasn't currently working, so anyone who investigated would think that she had a license. I haven't read that anyone died from her treatment, but she did cause pain.

   This was an interesting article, Linda. It appears strange that Cleroux did not complete her nursing training but worked as a nurse for so long. I'm happy she was caught, but I'm concerned about her mental health. I believe the authorities should keep her in an environment where mentally ill people can exercise their skills, such as an institution in a mental asylum. I'm not sure if mental asylums in Canada provide such facilities, but they do in Pakistan. A Pakistani actress named Roohi Bano spent a long period in a mental asylum, and the asylum created a section for her where she could practice her acting skills. I actually met that actress in person in 2008, when our high school took the psychology students for a visit to the Mental Asylum. Thanks for this interesting read!
   
   Thanks for sharing Linda's article, Pamela
   Blessings and Love to both of you!

      Hi, Misbah. She's being treated as a criminal. A psychiatrist did examine her and made a report to the courts in her latest trial, but that doesn't seem to have influenced her sentence. Like you, I think she should definitely have psychiatric help while she is in prison. I've found no evidence that she is receiving this help, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.
      
      Blessings to you as well, Misbah.
