Teenager who passed himself off as a doctor in Adelaide hospitals remanded in custody THE teenager who passed himself off as a doctor at Adelaide hospitals has been remanded in custody following breaches of his bail conditions. The youth, 17, assisted a 12-year-old girl who had received minor injuries after falling from a scooter in January at Edwardstown. In a statement released after he was arrested police said "he purported to be medically qualified to examine the girl and administered a prescription drug which was not prescribed to her." The youth was charged with one aggravated count of assault, one count of making false pretence as to own identity or qualifications and one count of attempting to prescribe a prescription drug without authority. He pleaded guilty to all charges. The Advertiser previously reported the youth had been seen numerous times at the Royal Adelaide Hospital wearing a name badge and a stethoscope, and reading patient notes. Today the youth court heard he had breached his bail conditions, which prohibited him from being possession of medical equipment. Prosecutors said the youth was found in possession of a digital thermometer, gloves, a black jacket with a paramedic badge and a receipt for a stethoscope purchased from America. They said he also had a business card with his name and the words of "nurse and first responder." His screensaver allegedly had a picture of an ID card with the words "health care professional" and an expiry date in 2015. Judge Kelvin Prescott said it would appear that at least one of the conditions he had set had been breached a number of times. Defence lawyer Jane Bockmann said her client was an "extremely vulnerable boy" who needed to be helped. Judge Prescott revoked the youth's bail due to the "recent and persistent" breaches of the conditions of bail that were fixed last month. The youth will return to court in two weeks.
