Of course, Florida! JANUARY 16--A teenage boy wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope masqueraded as a doctor at a Florida hospital for a month until his Doogie Howser act was derailed this week, cops say.
The 17-year-old, whose name was redacted from a West Palm Beach Police Department report, was confronted Tuesday afternoon by officers at St. Mary's Medical Center, where the juvenile introduced himself as a doctor.
The phony physician’s gambit unraveled after a patient alerted OB/GYN staffers that “a young black male who appeared to be a child was dressed as a doctor” and was inside a nearby examination room, police noted.
The boy was outfitted in a white lab coat bearing the St. Mary’s logo (the word "anesthesiology" was embroidered on the garment’s front side). The imposter also "had a stethoscope around his neck and a face mask," according to the report.
It's bad enough when your doctor looks like a kid, but to actually have a doctor who is a kid...
Oh yeah, got this one.
