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.
