Christian E. called himself ‘Dr. med., Dr. rer. oec., diploma’, and thanks to homemade documents, the man who only ever went to secondary school landed a job as an assistant doctor at the University Hospital Erlangen
He worked there for more than two years, and took part in 190 operations - including five organ transplants.
His homemade credentials were littered with mistakes, but he still managed to fool doctors at the Bavarian clinic - although he has now been sentenced to three years in jail for the deception.
Among the basic mistakes he made were:
Writing ‘doktor’ instead of ‘doctor’:
The impostor presented fake documents from the University of Oxford and wrote ‘Doktor medicinae’ instead of the correct Latin ‘doctor medicinae’.
Missing letters:
Christian E. wrote 'an' instead of ‘and’.
Spelling his place of birth incorrectly:
On his certificate from the University of Oxford, he translated the German city of his birth, Nuremberg, incorrectly as ‘Nueremberg’.
Writing ‘FRANLFURT’ instead of ‘FRANKFURT’:
To top it all off, Christian E. sent in not only false proof of a medicine degree, but also a fake certificate of a business diploma. He claimed to have received it from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which according to the certificate is in ‘Franlfurt’ and not ‘Frankfurt’.
The young fake doctor's boss at the hospital, Prof. Dr. med. h. c. Werner Hohenberger (60), explained to BILD last week how the young impostor managed to fool them all: “His application was excellent…”

And your point is what? Would you rather have an educated minor mistake or someone with a secondary education type mistake. As a nurse, I will take the one who went to school for 14 yrs.

I'm gonna have to agree with echoz. He was part of nearly 200 operations and we are reading about his spelling errors? Not to justify what he did, but c'mon. Real doctors make real mistakes everyday.

tsk, what a load of institutionalizing bs. so he misrepresented himself among self-aggrandizing assholes in a notoriously snobbish profession. he's not on trial for killing anybody. it's entirely possible, forgiving the lack of credentials (and some bad spelling), that he wasn't actually such a bad ASSISTANT doctor. No better way to learn than hands on...I'd bet my next check he got extremely valuable and quickening mentorship with invaluable practical experience generally and resolutely denied most everyone else aspiring to be in that field.
the fact he worked there for so long on almost 200 operations says a lot about the fact that many of these prix who call themselves doctors aren't really any more special than the rest of us, although they pridefully (institutionally) lord their social status next to God (limiting the rest of us) as if their shit didn't stink. Well, ironically, I'd bet, compared to the hurt their "professional" pride may suffer because of a "fake" however likely effective, constantly-bettering and "self-studied" doctor...I think we'd all be tempted to think maybe their shit wouldn't actually smell as bad as perhaps their sicker and diseased pride would... Perhaps that should be some medicine for so many present and aspiring doctors to take? Hmmm...
