Teen poses as physician at FL hospital

A teenager was caught posing as a physician for a month in the St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to police in that city. Police received a call on January 13 about a juvenile who was in the hospital and telling people he was a physician; a security guard reportedly told police he’d seen the teen around the hospital for a month. Another guard said the teen entered secured areas of the hospital this week. Police said the impostor wore a white coat with the St. Mary's logo, a stethoscope, and a mask on his face. At the time of his arrest, the boy was in an examination room with a patient, according to reports. Police and hospital staff agreed to not charge the teen with a crime.
