Teen Acts as OBGYN for a Month Before Hospital Figures It Out
-
This teen presented himself as a doctor and apparently worked in the hospital for a month before someone decided to check on him. The hospital made a statement that he had no access to patient areas and that he had never had access to patients. Obviously this is a patent lie as he was in a patient area caring for a patient at the time of his arrest!
Also, not only is it a complete lie based on the arrest situation, but given that neither security nor medical staff could tell that he was not a doctor there is obviously no way that they know if he did or did not have patient access during the month in which everyone believed him to be a real doctor.
I've worked in a lot of hospitals and I know that patient access is trivial. There is no conceivable way that he did not have patient access during that time.

Wow...just wow!

What I want to know is, where there any charts on these patients? where they all paper? if not, how did he gain access?

Just walked in, probably.

OK I watched the story.. perhaps that was the only time he went into a room and interacted directly with a patient. if it's found that he made any orders or prescriptions, that hospital will find itself in a world of hurt.

Yup, it is possible that that was the only time. But that he was able to act like a doctor for a full month without them catching him means that they really don't know at all what he has been up to.

What does 'act like a doctor' mean? walking around a hospital talking to people about the weather while wearing a white lab coat and stethoscope a doctor does not make. You can't help people drawing the wrong conclusion, as long as he didn't cross the line - again, talk to patients about care, prescriptions, etc... but if all he did was walk around talking to staff about generic stuff, hell even doctor stuff...

Hard to say. A month is a long time, though.

Of course this teen doesn't pretend to be a neurosurgeon or a podiatrist.... he decides to pretend to be an OBGYN. I think we all know what he was hoping to accomplish with this ruse.

Tee hee. Teenagers.
