A Flashlight Falls and Exposes a Doctor Who Never Existed: The Diane Wagner Case

A hidden folder dropped from a ceiling panel, revealing a complete set of forged medical credentials - diploma, residency certificate, DEA card and state license - all belonging to a woman who had been treating patients for two and a half years. How did a fabricated doctor gain trust, perform clinical work with normal pregnancy outcomes, and stay undiscovered until a flashlight nudged a ceiling tile?

In this episode, we tell the story of what happened at Lakewood Reproductive Medicine and the sequence of events that followed the discovery, including how staff adapted to clinical gaps and which credentials were falsified; can a small clinic’s procedures and assumptions explain how deception lasted from 2012 to 2014?

Location: Lakewood Reproductive Medicine, Calloway, Ohio
Date: December 11, 2014
Period: 2012-2014
Staff member: Jason Sullivan, age 38
