Original Patient Version Teng Yan Yau’s Stolen Altered Version
He makes it appear as if it's a real patient on his site, when in fact it's him posting the content
and posing as the patient. He even goes so far as to rephrase and reword the original patient's
review (extremely unethical). And then creates the illusion that you can interact with the
patient through this phantom profile and ask them follow up questions, but all inquiries are
really going to him and being answered by him like a twisted Wizard of Oz.
