Does section 2053 of the California Medical Code prohibit a physician from performing medicine without a license?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Morgan, 177 Cal.App.3d 466, 225 Cal.Rptr. 673 (Cal. App. 1985):

1 People v. Burroughs, supra, at page 827, 201 Cal.Rptr. 319, 678 P.2d 894, held that while the felonious unlicensed practice of medicine can in many circumstances, pose a threat to the health of the individual being treated, commission of that crime does not inevitably pose danger to human life, so that a violation of section 2053 does not provide the predicate for a felony murder conviction.
