Bureau of Investigation -- A Chicago Chiropodist in Hawaiian Hot Water
J Am Med Assoc, Aug 1955; 158: 1394 - 1395
Anthony M. Senese of Chicago; Tucson, Ariz.; late of Hawaii, and now address unknown, is a chiropodist with medical ambitions. He is an outstanding example of those few impostors who seem to be able to function adequately as interns or residents in large hospitals. Outside the hospitals, however, they sooner or later run into grief. Inevitably the lack of formal training shows up. The latest medical activity of Mr. Senese was reported in a special "Members' Letter" issued by the Better Business Bureau of Honolulu, Hawaii, April 4, 1955. Senese had pleaded guilty to practicing medicine without a valid territorial license... … Senese was licensed as a naturopath in Arizona in 1935. The Arizona Board of Medical Examiners has pried out of its naturopathic counterpart the fact that such license was issued on the basis of a letter from the "Polytechnic College of Natural Therapeutics," Fort Wayne, Ind., certifying Senese's attendance for a "full four-year course" ending in June, 1935. In 1946 Senese wrote to the Arizona Basic Science Board from Chicago, as "N.D.," seeking a certificate under the "grandfather" clause. In December of that year his naturopathic license was reinstated. Apparently naturopath Senese did not confine his Arizona "practice" entirely within the limits of "natural" healing. The Tucson Better Business Bureau has reported that in August, 1948 he was arrested on a charge of illegal medical practice. He pleaded not guilty, and trial was set for November, 1948. There is no record that Senese appeared for trial. The charge was dismissed in 1952….
