Doctor Youth

Many of us can remember all sorts shenanigans from when we were teenagers, but a 17-year-old Australian lad really pushed the boat out when he was bored. He simply got himself a stethoscope, white coat and some dodgy credentials and proceeded to work in a few hospitals as a doctor!

He is currently under arrest in Adelaide after impersonating a doctor at several hospitals in the city. It has to be said that in the all three hospitals he was caught and thrown out… but that was after he assisted a 12-year-old girl after she was injured in a scooter accident, prescribed medication, offered first aid and stood looking intelligent, whilst reading patient notes.

The boy has now been named ‘Dr. Who’ by medical staff in the city and has caused the South Australia health department to rethink its hospitals’ security, according to The Adelaide Advertiser.

So, next time you teenager is out for extended periods of time… just make sure he or she isn’t performing surgery somewhere!
