Foralmost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered aroundhospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor.Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medicalexperience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had evenbeen allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient whowas about to die on something she had swallowed.

“Iwatched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt likeplaying one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggesthospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk topatients, nurses and others doctors, it’s easy to take people in, ” he said.

Oneof the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a carand fainted（晕）. When she came to in hospital,York was standing over her.

“Helooked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave mesome sort of injection（注射）, ” she said. And then he suddenlycleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anythingwrong.  “ I would never haverealized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a weeklater. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believemy ears. ”

JudgeRaymond Adams told York that he was “ shocked and horrified” that he got awaywith his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in aspecial prison for criminal with mental disorders.

“Ican only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you willhave considerable opportunity to study the behavior of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there.If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after youare set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,”Judge Adams warned York.
