Teen charged with posing as physician's assistant
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - September 3, 2011
Kissimmee police say the 17-year-old performed CPR on a patient
in cardiac arrest at the Osceola Regional Medical Center. The
arrest report says the teen also performed physical examinations
and other forms of care on an undisclosed number of unsuspecting
patients.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that
the teen was arrested Friday after hospital officials called police
about suspicions that he was an impostor.
The teen is not being identified by The Associated Press because
of his age. He faces five charges five counts of impersonating a
physician's assistant.
The hospital did not immediately respond to a message seeking
comment Saturday. The teen is being held at a juvenile detention
center in Orlando.
