For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor.

He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was 3 to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I 4 playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. “At first, I just 5 .

“I can only hope that this will not lead to 13 problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the 14 of the psychiatrists who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a 15 after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.
