WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Police say a teenager in Florida was “playing doctor” inside a real medical facility. 
 
 The teen, who posed as a doctor, was able to walk the halls of St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. 
 
 Police say he wore a white coat with the St. Mary’s logo. 
 
 “I think it’s just crazy. I can’t believe he got away with it for a month,” Stacy Morales said. 
 
 The impostor was busted while wearing a stethoscope around his neck and a mask on his face. 
 
 At the time, he was in an examination room with a patient. 
 
 “He presented himself with a patient of our practice and introduced himself as Dr. Robinson,” Dr. Sebastian Kent said, an OB/GYN with St. Mary’s Medical Center. 
 
 According to the police report, the teen was inside the examination room with a patient when Dr. Kent conducted an exam. 
 
 “The first thing I thought was, ‘I am getting, I am really getting old because these young doctors look younger every year,” Dr. Kent said. 
 
 The real doctor called security, who then called police. 
 
 Even security guards around the hospital had seen him for weeks and believed he was someone who belonged there. 
 
 “I saw him outside our office building with policemen surrounding him. I believe they had him in handcuffs. There was quite a commotion,” Dr. Kent said. 
 
 The hospital said in a statement: 
 
 “The individual never had contact with any hospital patients and did not gain access to any patient care areas of the hospital at any time. The hospital immediately notified local authorities, who took the individual into custody, and we are cooperating with their ongoing investigation.” 
 
 The teen’s mother rushed to the scene, saying her son has an illness. 
 
 She said he had not been taking his medication. 
 
 Police and the hospital have decided not to charge the teen. ||||| West Palm Beach police busted a juvenile who was posing as a doctor — with a white lab coat and all — for a month at St. Mary's Medical Center. 
 
 Police said they got a call on Jan. 13 about a juvenile walking around in a white doctor's lab coat and carrying a stethoscope who was telling people he was a doctor. 
 
 The juvenile's age is redacted from the incident report. Police and hospital staff agreed to not charge him with a crime. 
 
 Staff at the medical center's OB/GYN office was alerted by a patient that a young male who "appeared to be a child" was dressed as a doctor and was inside an exam room. The patient said he had a lab coat with the St. Mary's logo and "anesthesiology" stitched on the front, according to the incident report. 
 
 A security guard told police the boy is known around the hospital as a doctor. The guard said he had seen the "doctor" around for about a month, according to the report. 
 
 Another security guard told police she had seen the boy gain access to secured areas of the hospital in the past week. Security footage showed the boy entering the lobby from the parking lot. Officers saw the car parked outside and could see a white lab coat on a hanger in the back seat. 
 
 When interviewed by police, the teen told them that he has been a doctor for "years," and that his family could vouch for him. 
 
 One of the OB/GYN's said he had never seen the boy at the hospital before. Later he told police he discovered a note from the boy on his desk, asking the doctor whether he could "shadow" him, according to the report. 
 
 The boy's mother told police he is under the care of a doctor for an undisclosed illness but refuses to take medicine, according to the report.

 WPBF 25 News has been investigating Love-Robinson since early January, after receiving a tip that the previously unidentified teen posed as a doctor at St. Mary’s for a month in 2015, was opening his own clinic. 
 
 According to the Health Department, Love-Robinson was advertising himself as a doctor on his and his clinic’s website and Facebook page. Love-Robinson’s website said the New Birth, New Life Alternative Medicine and Urgent Care Clinic offered holistic and urgent care, as well as family planning counseling, and was staffed with alternative medicine professionals. 
 
 The Florida Department of Health said it determined Love-Robinson was leading the public to believe he was a doctor, and was practicing medicine without a license. 
 
 An undercover Sheriff’s office agent who posed as a patient on Tuesday, said Love-Robinson took her temperature, blood pressure and listened to her lungs with a stethoscope on her back, and assured her she was not sick. She said he also gave her medical advice. 
 
 He was arrested immediately and taken into custody. 
 
 “I’m hurt because of all of these allegations,” Love-Robinson told WPBF 25 News as he was being led away in handcuffs, “but this is not the first time I have been accused and I will pursue this, and when I do, you will be the first to know.” 
 
 Love-Robinson was also accused of posing as a doctor last January. 
 
 The story of the 17-year-old caught last year in a pregnant woman's exam room at St. Mary's Medical Center went viral. 
 
 According to the police report, the then-unidentified teen, dressed in a St. Mary's lab coat and wearing a stethoscope and face mask, had been seen by doctors and staff for over a month, roaming the halls, and entering patient’s rooms. 
 
 St. Mary's denied he'd ever come in contact with patients and declined to press charges. Police determined no crime had been committed. 
 
 Love-Robinson admitted to WPBF 25 News in January, he was that teen, but claims he wasn’t pretending to be a doctor. 
 
 “No, ma’am. I requested to shadow physicians -- next thing I know, cops are there, that’s all I know, all I know, I have no idea,” said Love-Robinson. 
 
 The Department of Health issued Love-Robinson a cease and desist order in October, when they said he was working as a massage therapist at a Boynton Beach Rehabilitation facility without holding an active license. 
 
 The department ordered him to stop working as a massage therapist until he was licensed, and then began the latest investigation after receiving an anonymous tip in January. 
 
 Love-Robinson is charged with a third degree felony, and ordered by the Dept. of Health to cease and desist practicing medicine without a license. 
 
 A detective from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office contacted WPBF 25 News late Tuesday afternoon and said an 86-year-old woman said Love-Robinson visited her home when she wasn't feeling well. 
 
 She said he told her that she needed to go to the hospital. 
 
 The woman told investigators that she asked Love-Robinson to put her purse back in her house as she was being put into an ambulance. 
 
 Investigators believe that instead, he stole her checks and has been cashing them around town. 
 
 Love-Robinson was released from jail just before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday on $21,000 bail, according to records.
– Apparently, the only thing necessary to pass yourself off as a doctor—an OB/GYN, no less—is an official-looking white coat. Fox 13 reports that a teenager pulled it off for a month at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla. The center insists that the unnamed juvenile never had contact with patients, but he apparently came close. A police reports says the ruse finally came to a halt when the teen was inside an exam room with a doctor and his patient. “The first thing I thought was, ‘I am getting, I am really getting old because these young doctors look younger every year,” recalls Dr. Sebastian Kent. The suspicious doctor called authorities, and the youth was taken into custody. His mother later explained that her son has an undisclosed illness for which he's been refusing to take medication, and no charges were filed, reports the Orlando Sun-Sentinel. Based on interviews with security guards, "Dr. Robinson" had been walking the halls of the facility for about a month, and he had gotten into secured areas. "Terrifying," writes a blogger at Jezebel.
