Teenager 'Performed Examinations' While Posing as Physician's Assistant


Scheidt, who'd worked at Osceola Regional Medical Center as a part-time billing clerk, obtained an ID by telling hospital workers he was "a physician's assistant in a program at Nova Southeastern University," and that the surgical group he was working for had changed its name. Seems like he had a grand old time!





The hospital eventually got wise, and when confronted, Scheidt claimed that he was a cop working on a "top secret" undercover investigation in the emergency room. The cops did not so much agree, and arrested him on Friday. He was probably familiar to them: Scheidt was apparently "bounced" from the county sheriff's Explorer program for "repeatedly wearing equipment that might mislead the public into believing he was a deputy."
