(3) Typical significance
This case is a typical case of posing as a doctor to defraud the elderly. The Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China requires that inspections of urban villages, urban-rural fringes, and remote rural areas be intensified, and a number of "fake white coats" who illegally practice medicine and defraud the elderly be investigated and dealt with. This case took place in a township market. Targeting the lack of medical knowledge among some elderly people and the loose management of the township market, the defendant wore a white coat and pretended to be a doctor, claiming that he could "replace broken teeth and fix living teeth; fill cavities and repair gaps between teeth." "Intraoral production, first time success", touting its so-called "high-tech porcelain teeth". However, this kind of synthetic resin made of self-condensing tooth powder not only cannot be used for a long time, but also has certain irritation to the gums and affects the health of the body. We would like to remind the elderly that when seeking medical treatment or health check-ups, they must look for formal institutions with medical qualifications. Never think that people wearing white coats are doctors and products labeled "high-tech" are regular products, so as not to delay treatment and suffer financial consequences. loss.
