A case of the fake doctor.

A former college student is charged with impersonating a doctor at a children's hospital in California.

Police say 23-year-old Ariya Ouskouian pretended to be a doctor seven times between April and June.

When security would question him, Ouskouian would tell them he lost his ID.

He reportedly gave advice to a patient who complained about a growth on his neck.

If convicted, he faces up to 11 years in prison.
