WEST PALM BEACH, FL. (WTNH)– West Palm Beach police busted a teen who had been posing as an OB/GYN doctor at a hospital for about a month.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that police were called to St. Mary’s Medical Center last Tuesday, after a patient alerted the OB/GYN office staff that a young man who “appeared to be a child” was dressed as a doctor inside an exam room.

The teen, who was not identified, was then caught by police while in an examination room with a patient, wearing a lab coat with the hospital’s logo, a stethoscope around his neck and mask on his face.

The teen reportedly told police that he had been a doctor for years and that his family could vouch for him.

The young lad described it as being 'like a fish out of water'.

But pretending to be a doctor wasn't so bad...

A million times this. The ratio of things you'd want to see, to things you wouldn't; would make the whole thing a nightmare.

This is one of these stock 'news' stories that surface every six months or so, next time it will be Albania, Chile the time after that.

Seems like a clever (but criminal) idea to get your kicks, but as has been suggested, he will have seen sights like a nail bomb going off in a butchers fridge, probably ruined his prospects for life.

Fair play to him - he def has balls!

I feel sorry for the poor women who were in hospital with god-knows-what medical issues, finding out they were being spied on by a kid in a white coat for kicks.

He's a little creep and I hope they throw the book at him to discourage any other little creeps who think it'll be fun to play peeping tom to a load of sick people.

The article does say that he had no patient contact until he was caught and he never had access to patient areas. Not sure how they can be sure of that mind you.

Phew. Though you wouldn't be keen on him having access to records or notes either.

Yep, someone could have been worried sh1tless about some issue issue and then it stops being funny.

So the health service in the US is so good they can afford to have Doctors doing very little? Unless of course he was examining test results which could kind of make it worse.

Nasty little git - I hope he gets what's coming.

So he appeared to do no work, didn't interact with patients and generally couldn't be found by junior doctors?
In that case he wasn't pretending to be a doctor, he was faking it as a consultant.
