So a recent malpractice case was tossed out in court : “A woman who accused her doctor of molesting her and having his identical twin impersonate him to assault her must pay the doctor $2.8 million because she fabricated the allegations, a judge ruled.”

The accusations are strikingly similar to the plot for Dead Ringers, a really bad Jeremy Irons movie from the 80s : “The Mantle brothers are both doctors – both gynecologists – and identical twins. Mentally however, one of them is more confident than the other, and always manages to seduce the women he meets. When he’s tired of his current partner, she is passed on to the other brother – without her knowing. Everything runs smoothly, until an actress visits their clinic, and the shy brother is the first to fall in love. Will they be able to ‘share’ her ?”

If the accusations are false, I wonder if the woman got the idea from the movie; if they’re true, life imitates art, no?
