How often do we see some self-appointed "expert" claim that unaccredited schools must be crushed because people with bogus medical degrees might kill somebody? Of course it's a stupid argument that only fools congressmemberpersons and similar retrograde intellects. Medical professions are licensed and heavily regulated by our overseers, so no milled degree is going to get you into the operating room unless you are the patient.
Here's a great example of how the well-motivated mental case can create havoc in the health care professions, without need of a bogus diploma vendor:
Slight Problems Found With "Nurse of the Year" Award

Slight Problems Found With "Nurse of the Year" Award
Quote:Here is a short list of the potential problems that authorities recently alleged in connection with Betty Lichtenstein's "Nurse of the Year" award, which she received in 2008:
- She isn't a nurse.
Wait, I found a few more:
Oh, and "Lichtenstein" isn't her real name.
- She was working at a doctor's office at the time, falsely claiming to be an RN.
- She was doing things real nurses do, like give injections, without a license.
- She received the award from the Connecticut Nursing Association.
- There is no "Connecticut Nursing Association."
- Lichtenstein staged the dinner at which she received the award.
- She invited forty people to the fake award dinner, including patients and other staff.
- She asked the doctor she worked for to be the keynote speaker.
- She was arrested in May for trying to buy drugs with a forged prescription.
- She used a slip from her boss's office to do it.
I think that mostly covers it.
