Just realized a fairly new friend of mine (~14 months or so) has been lying about being an emergency medicine physician

She seemed legit: her husband is an ICU doctor, she sounds very knowledgeable but she could not be found anywhere (no NPI number under her name).

She has generally been very nice, helpful and pleasure to be around

Any advice? What would you do in this situation? Should i ask her to explain? Could you continue being friends with someone like this

It generally baffles me that you track the NPI numbers of your friends.

That said: couldn’t there be rational explanations? Changed name when she married, etc?

Why don’t you drop her job next time you meet her and her husband and see how he reacts?

I did not track anything! This was disclosed to me from another close friend and i did not believe it … until she is nowhere to be found

Change of name: possibly! The only explanation but i have seen her driver’s license (we traveled together) and the name is what i believe it to be

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
