"Dem Lied, Said She Was ER Doc in Pulse Shooting"

"C. Elizabeth McCarthy wanted to win a Florida House seat, ... McCarthy said at various campaign events ... she was a medical doctor working the Orlando Regional Medical Center ER when the Pulse nightclub shooting happened three years ago;..."

"....McCarthy isn't a doctor, wasn't in the emergency room that night, ORMC has never heard of her, and she's never held a medical license in the state...."

"...It is a false statement. I just made it up," McCarthy told Department of Health investigators, adding that she'd been passing herself off as a physician since 2014 with an eye on winning public office that way. ".... I knew it was wrong, and I should have stopped."

". ..late June, and then other media reports, she withdrew from the HD 28 election contest. In doing so, she did not acknowledge making any false statements.

"... several other things that McCarthy had claimed that could not be corroborated ..."
"... degree from Florida State University and a medical degree from the University of Central Florida, and ... played college basketball for [two colleges]."
