Uso indebido de títulos y servicios en profesiones de salud

Explicación Simple

Si no tienes un permiso para trabajar en la salud, no puedes decir que sí lo tienes. No puedes ofrecer servicios de salud como si fueras un experto si no lo eres de verdad.

Es como si alguien se pusiera un uniforme de médico y comenzara a atender pacientes sin haber estudiado. Aunque se vea bien, no tiene el conocimiento necesario para ayudar a la gente.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan se presenta como quiropráctico en su barrio sin tener la licencia correspondiente. Ofrece ajustes de columna a sus vecinos, pero en realidad no está calificado. Si alguien se lastima, Juan podría meterse en problemas por engañar a la gente.
