    A little bit of investigative reporting can work to find out if it is a lie. Getting her on record is step one. They won’t even go to step one.

      Never ask a question in that setting where you don’t already know the answer. Step one is doing the investigation and then get them on record.

        That doesn’t mean they didn’t tell anyone who isn’t a medical professional about it. Start interviewing her high school and college friends.

          This doesn’t matter IMO. They can cry foul and say that it was a mistake and they’ve changed since, without batting an eye.

            Do you not know what investigative journalism is? Have you never heard of an exposé? Journalists are supposed to dig until they find something then back it up with interviews/records. Yes/no/maybe should never enter the equation when determining what’s of the public interest to uncover.

        Then hopefully the reporter won’t ask a covered entity. Everyone else is fair game.
