Sydney Smith discusses Dean's Distortions in her column on Tech Central. Dean is lying about his scope of practice – claiming to have been playing the role of a family physician – despite the fact the he's an Internist.
Howard Dean is lying

As a trainee in residency, he probably had to treat “patients from 5 to 105 years old”, so that wouldn’t be lying.
uh .. nope. Internists don’t do pediatrics during their residencies. He would have done a pediatrics rotation in medical school, but I don’t think that really counts.
