Magic healer deemed not a physician in Georgia ruling
In Fitzgerald's city court and the Georgia Court of Appeals a so called magic healer named Bennett was ruled not a medical practitioner under state law, thus not required to hold a medical license. Prosecution for license nonpayment was not malicious prosecution, as the court found the healer not engaged in licensed medical practice. Judge B H Hill notes osteopathy and Christian Science are outside the statute, while magic healers may be imposters but not physicians. The ruling holds prima facie the healer's activities are fraudulent, yet protection against such practice depends on license status.
