FLORIDA (KSTU) – Police say a teenager in Florida was “playing doctor” inside an actual medical facility.
The teen, who pretended to be a doctor, was able to walk the halls of St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
He wore a white coat with the St. Mary’s logo, according to police.
“I think it’s just crazy. I can’t believe he got away with it for a month,” Stacy Morales said.
The impostor was caught while wearing a stethoscope around his neck and a mask over his face.
When he was caught, the suspect was in an examination room with a patient.
“He presented himself with a patient of our practice and introduced himself as Dr. Robinson,” Dr. Sebastian Kent said, an OB/GYN with St. Mary’s Medical Center.
The teen was inside the examination room with a patient when Dr. Kent conducted an exam, according to the police report.
“The first thing I thought was, ‘I am getting, I am really getting old because these young doctors look younger every year,” Dr. Kent said.
Security was later called for to deal with the teen.
