Sheila Leavitt: Another wacky doctor for Obamacare; Updated
Scroll down for updates…

Dubious “doctors” keep turning up at congressional town hall meetings to support a government health care takeover plan that sane medical professionals are revolting against in force.
Blogger Patterico smoked out fake pediatrician Roxana Mayer at a Sheila Jackson-Lee town hall.
Now, bloggers have raised questions about a left-wing activist who turned up at Barney Frank’s raucous town hall.
She’s Dr. Sheila Leavitt, identified in press reports as a “physician from Newton (MA).”
But the folks at AR15.com can’t find anyone licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts under the name “Sheila Leavitt.”
Kate at Small Dead Animals does the Googling the rest of the MSM won’t do and finds Leavitt’s trail of nutty, anti-Bush, anti-war activism.
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit and Steven at Buck’s Right have more.
At Buck’s Right, a commenter who says he is Leavitt’s 16-year-old son says his mom did go to medical school — but “stopped actively practicing medicine 26 some odd years ago” to raise four children.
“Odd” is certainly the right word. Check out her car (via SDA):

Update: It looks like Leavitt was channeling her husband’s persona. He’s a bona fide doctor currently practicing in Boston…
Andrew H. Lichtman, M.D.’81, Ph.D.’81 is Associate Professor of Pathology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Dr. Lichtman indicates “My laboratory research concerns the immunopathology of cardiovascular disease, with NIH funded research projects focused on the regulation of T cell responses in atherosclerosis, and the mechanism of T cell trafficking and T cell mediated inflammatory events in the heart. Dr. Lichtman’s spouse is Sheila A. Leavitt; the couple has four children: Eben 22; Areilla 20; Amos 18; Ezra 13 who are involved with music, travel, political activism, hiking, photography, and sports.

Ubiquitous dubious doctorious…in obamacare.
Someone PLEASE go get $4500 for that car…and hurry.
One look at the car and I would know they voted for Obama.
Oh, he’s calling it his ‘town hall’ now?
Hee hee–I get it.
Ok, look in the records & see if you can find notation of a lawsuit, or committal records.
“Doctor Moonbeam, I presume.”
The only type of doctor that supports Obamacare are the pathologists that stand to profit from the increased business.
LOL
If I understood her right, she is saying PCP’s should be paid the same a specialists. That alone should tell’s you a lot about this wing nut. What does she think the extra YEARS of med. school was for? I have it, the democrat way, work harder than the other but make sure you give back. Give back what they didn’t earn?
These people have no valid value system, period.
Do the Obamacare supporters actually think bringing such people on-board their cause lends it credibility?! Good grief!
On second thought, let’s hope they continue to enlist the aid of “experts” like Leavitt – it may be the best way to expose Obamacare for the ill-conceived, ineptly designed gov takeover that it is.
That car is emblematic of a full-blown character disorder of the Loony Liberal Left variety.
Way to go, liberals, you sure are turning up some brilliant and discerning physician advocates to support your hostile takeover of our health care.
Kate McMilland’s small dead animals is terrific and always worth reading!
Yes, I am a fan of both Kate and Michelle!
What’s with the Sheilas lately? (he said with a Down Under accent)
Another Massachusetts lunatic.
I told my doctor I broke my arm in two places. She told me to keep out of those places.
Another Liberal Liar who knows they can spam a crowd with false title and like a bandit in the night slip out before the truth can be googled.
If you are at one of these events and a claims any title, use your blackberry immediately and lets catch one of these fakes in action.
Last administration, it was fake anti-war soldiers and fake TANG documents. This administration, it’s fake pro-Obamacare doctors. Bottom line: Democrats love their fakes.
Where’s Rod Serling when you need him?
I’m not a doctor, but I play one at town halls.
Physician, heal thyself!
One has to wonder if this departure was voluntary. I would think not. Nobody goes to med school, and runs up those bills, just to quit and drive a crap mobile.
Did Barney ask “Dr.” Leavitt what planet she was from? I think I remember seeing her in a Mork and Mindy episode.
Dimsdale; see my comment #4
Well, he never said she actually graduated or even attended classes.
I went to MIT. Got a t-shirt. Left.
Maybe something like this happened:
[after failing to bring the creature to life]
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: Nothing.
Inga: Oh, Doctor, I’m sorry.
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: No. No. Be of good cheer. If science teaches us anything, it teaches us to accept our failures, as well as our successes, with quiet dignity and grace.
[starts beating up the creature]
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: Son of a b@#$h! B@#$%^d! I’ll get you for this! What did you do to me? What did you do to me.
Inga: Stop it! Stop that! Stop it! You’ll kill him!
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: I don’t want to live. I do not want to live.
Igor: Quiet dignity and grace.
[rolls eyes]
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: Oh… mama…
Dr. Sheila Frankenstein: You know, I’m a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
Igor: What hump?
in the era of fact check and phone cameras these whack jobs on the left really need to stop lying on camera. i know, they can’t help themselves, because without the lies they are just what fbi profilers say about every nut they track. underperforming, low pay job, loner in the basement, no friends, which is why they value the trolls of the daily kos etc. (self validation for a failed life)
There should be a record of that as well. Any truth to this claim or is the 16 year old son also a fake?
Since this looks like this going to pass, and 2010 has been bought and paid for, is America officially a memory?
With all the “fake” everythings being thrown about by the extreme nutroot leftists at these town halls I have come to the conclusion that all of these “Fakirs” (spelled that way on purpose) can accurately be described as … “Faux Americans”
Doctor Howard!
Doctor Fine!
Doctor Howard!
There should be a record of that as well. Any truth to this claim or is the 16 year old son also a fake?
A fake but accurate doctor and son for Obamacare?
To correct my typo in spelling above, it is Kate McMillan who blogs magnificently at small dead animals.
Pictured with clenched fist dutifully lifted in the air in true fascist style.
Another instance of Democrats assuming Americans are stupid.
Quick! Someone call me a doctor!
“You’re a doctor!”
Turn your head and cough…
up as much money as we can squeeze out of you!
And this folks is an example of the kind of doctors we will have in the future when doctors are paid less and the “dumbing down” of medicine continues. She is hoping she can get her license back when we become so desperate we need HER! She inspires confidence with that car, that’s for sure!
My bet is that she was a self appointed plug puller in the critical care wards.
A rather subtle hint, but yes I can see the connection
All doctors supporting ObamaCare should drive such a car and wear a matching coat. But at least the Dubious Doc shaved before giving the Obama Salute.
God Bless America
Except for the Blue States
Did she paint her car to match that dress?
Sheila Leavit is just another Obamanut who has swallowed the koolaid and is blind to what is going on.
Keep in mind such people know damn well they are attempting benefit from this attempted realignment of medicine as they will be moved up as a reward for their activism… (think ‘apparatchik’)
Now that we know who and what her husband is, we had better check out his government grant applications.
Doubtful all of her activism is not self serving. Financially.
lol lindsay.
If she could read the Ballot.
Rush is discussing this most recent fake doctor right now.
aj, it probably took her a bit longer to focus on that (D) on the ballot due to drinking the hemp tea that morning.
At least, from the photo Michelle so thoughtfully provided, she did shave under her arms. It could be much worse to view.
Zorro, I think she was on mork & mindy. She was mork’s mother. Mork & mindy, haven’t thought of that show for awhile!
“I am not a doctor-But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night”
GSP
I think she was a cork inserter in the Barium room…
The big surprise to me is the leftist idiot shaves her pits. Anyone with a car like hers usually doesn’t. Maybe she did it for the fake townhall as a favor to Obama.
Apparently, the Associated Press would rather “report” on what the fake doctor said than actually find out if she’s a doctor. This was in today’s AP story on the townhall with slobbery Barney Frank:
“Dr. Sheila Leavitt, a physician from Newton, said she hoped for changes that would support primary care physicians who aren’t paid as much as specialists. She said some of the rowdy critics at Tuesday’s meeting appeared to be using the same “talking points” as those who showed up at similar meetings around the country.”
Sounds like she’s like many of the supporters of this healthcare idiocy that “showed up at similar meetings around the country” to me as well.
Funny that the Ostupid administration can’t find actual doctors to support their conspiracy. Must be a reason…
Sheila Leavitt: “I’m not a real doctor, but I play one at Townhalls and on YouTube.”
Sheila Leavitte, crazy leftist first, productive citizen last.
pfff-yeah; because most doctors’ wives pretend to be doctors themselves.
riiiiight.
Yes, he makes enough money his family doesn’t need to be involved with work and since they live free off of the sweat of others, they think everyone else should too.
Why not a fake doctor. Big O’s a fake person.
I am guessing the only fake documents the MSM is interested in are the one they create. We call it the Rather Affect.

She really PIMPED HER RIDE! Too bad the “cash for clunkers” program is over.

Too much peroxide must have a really bad effect on the brain. The “doctor” must be trying out for the Shaila Jackson Lee or Cynthia McKinney award. Can she do a HOWARD DEAN SCREAM?
