A Windsor, Ont., man has been charged after he allegedly posed as a doctor trying to get a desperate family to pay $50,000 for a surgery that would cure their daughter's disorder.
Windsor police claim the phony doctor even gave the girl a physical.

The investigation started with the discovery of a $15,000 payment to a furniture company, which was eventually determined to be to fraudulent.
As part of that investigation, police searched a home in east Windsor, seized the furniture, and returned it to the store.
Later, police determined the same man was posing as a medical doctor with practising privileges at hospitals in the United States.
During that investigation, officers heard the man had been allegedly telling several people in the city that he was a licensed medical doctor, with affiliations with and practising privileges at hospitals in the U.S.
Investigators believe the 32-year-old suspect may have offered other people medical assistance.
Police are now asking for tips from the public.
The man is charged with half a dozen fraud-related charges, that include:
- Fraud over $5,000.
- Two counts of theft under $5,000.
- Two counts of fraud under $5,000.
- Attempted fraud over $5,000.
- Uttering a fraudulent document

Police say the assault stems from the alleged physical.
