The Doctor is Out
Dr. Danielle Smith was a popular veterinarian in Vineland, N.J., especially because she made house calls. But police are saying Smith is not really a trained or licensed veterinarian, and she’s not even a woman: “Smith” is actually Daniel C. Tyce, 32, and is a con man. Even the collection can “Dr. Smith” put on her office counter for an animal rescue service was fake, they say: Tyce pocketed any money left in them, and any animals “rescued” were allegedly sold on Craigslist. Tyce has been charged with practicing medicine without a license, and a detective says more charges may be pending. “She dressed like a woman, she talked like a woman,” said Andrea Cappellucci, a customer who got suspicious and eventually tipped off police. “She’s very smart,” Cappellucci said. “She’s not a stupid man — or woman, or whatever she is.” (Asbury Park Press) …Criminal history is full of smart idiots.

I’ve watched the beginning of this video about 10 times now, trying to tell if she really is surprised. I think yes. Yes?
