Fake doctor arrested; he was trying to meet women

Just imagine: Someone likes your workplace so much he dresses like your employees just to hang out!
Eric Perteet dressed himself in surgical scrubs so he could spend time among medical staff at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA.
That would be weird enough except that it took hospital security six weeks to get rid of him, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Perteet had been a fixture in various waiting rooms, doctor’s lounges, the library and even the emergency room for about a month and a half.
A hospital spokeswoman said some of the facility’s female staffers found the 27-year-old “absolutely adorable” and that he was obviously trying to meet women.
But one nurse found him annoying because he was reading magazines in the emergency room while other staffers were working. She reported him to hospital security. The police arrested him.
It could have been worse: There’s no word of Perteet actually trying to treat any patients.
