What an odd way to try to meet
women. But ladies, you should be a bit skeptical about a doctor providing gynecological services in a self storage unit.
Authorities on Wednesday were looking for women who may have been taken advantage of by a man accused of posing as a doctor and offering free gynecological services.
Thomas Patrick Remo, 50, of Ovilla, was jailed without bond on three counts of practicing medicine without a license.
Eyler said the office, which was in a self-storage business, looked like a real medical office. Investigators said there were numerous pieces of medical equipment. Remo wore white pants and white medical scrub shirt. He had a stethoscope around his neck.
So that's all it takes to instill confidence in a physician? A stethoscope around their neck and an ad in the paper? But how often have you asked
your doctor if they actually have a medical license? At least he wasn't impersonating a proctologist. That would just be gross.
