Not a "doctor" anymore.

This is not an April Fools post, although it should be.

Dr. Richard Boylan is a former California psychologist who had his state psychology license revoked back in 1995 over allegations of improper sexual interaction with female patients in his hot tub (hydro 'therapy'?). He still uses the title doctor, even though he is not legally licensed for mental therapy anymore.

Boylan, Richard J., Ph.D. (PSY 10047)
Sacramento, CA
Interim Suspension Order issued June 3, 1994 - no practice. Partial stay granted July 21, 1994 - may treat male patients only.

Boylan, Richard J., Ph.D. (PSY 10047)
Sacramento, CA
B&P Code §2960(j). Gross negligence in the practice of psychology. Decision effective August 4, 1995. License revoked.


When we last checked in on the revoked Doctor, we found him peddling various oddities, such as helping your Space Alien Child adapt to life on Earth.

Never fear, he now assures us with a straight face
It is my pleasure and joy to announce that the 12 environmental scientists from the planet Altimar have now arrived on Earth.


Oh Joy ....
