Meanwhile, a similar matter surfaced in July this year, regarding a man who pretended to be a doctor.
Mikhail McLennan gained popularity after the Guyana Cancer Foundation exposed him for pretending to be a medical practitioner. A police investigation is underway and according to Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Narine Singh, he could face criminal charges.
McLennan joined the Guyana Cancer Foundation in June 2022 but when the founder and president Bibi Hassan questioned him about his Medical Degree, he reportedly refused to produce a copy.
The Foundation also released McLennan’s curriculum vitae with several inaccuracies. All the universities he said he attended have all denied that he was ever a student.
That CV stated that he is a former student at Queen’s College, the country’s top secondary school, Texila American University and a student at the University of Guyana.
But Queen’s College, UG and Texila have denied that he attended the institutions.
There are claims that McLennan also secured jobs at private health facilities and even treated someone wrongfully in the past. On his CV, he also claimed to have worked at the Georgetown and New Amsterdam Public Hospitals.
