Nurse Charged With 3 Felonies for Injecting Patients Under Unlicensed Physician Supervision in Sting Operation | EP 75

What happens when a board-certified dermatologist opens a med spa in a state where he has no license to practice?

A respected Seattle dermatologist who literally teaches other doctors how to inject Botox just got caught in a federal sting operation. An RN was led away in handcuffs and charged with three felonies. 

The doctor? 

He's now facing potential wire fraud charges and up to 20 years in prison. Dr. Kate Dee unpacks this jaw-dropping case that's unfolding right now.

The doctor interviewed an RN who turned down the job because she realized he had no Arizona license. Instead of fixing the problem, he just found someone else willing to do it anyway. 

Dr. Kate Dee walks through the bizarre logistics of how you'd even pull this off. How do you get Botox shipped without a state license? How do you run a med spa when you can't legally be there? 

And why would an established, well-respected physician risk everything for this?

This isn't just industry gossip. Your neighborhood med spa could be operating the same way, and you'd never know it. Dr. Kate Dee gives you the insider knowledge to spot the red flags before you're sitting in the chair. 

She'll tell you exactly which licenses to look up, what questions will make sketchy providers squirm, and why that initial consultation reveals everything you need to know about whether a place is legit or not.

Listen and learn why this arrest might finally crack open the widespread problem of unlicensed practice happening in med spas across the country.
