TN Health Dept. declines to pursue case against man who claimed to be a ‘doctor’

Women thought he was a doctor who was going to treat their infertility issues to have children.

“When he came in the room, he was like, ‘Hey, Iā€™m Dr. Dyer,’ and then he sat down on one of those little rolley chairs,” Miller said.
