Fake Doctor Jailed

A judge expressed horror yesterday at how easy it was for a 23-year-old hairdresser to pass himself off
as a doctor despite a complete lack of medical qualifications.
The hairdresser, Dominic York, used to wander about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and
calling himself ‘Dr Simon’. He claims that he not only stitched up the wounds of accident victims but
also saved a man’s life by draining fluid from a collapsed lung, and that he was even allowed to attend
open-heart operations as an observer.
York avoided detection for more than two months by carefully studying the notice-boards in various
hospitals in the London area to discover which doctors were away on holiday. When asked who he
was, he would say that he was taking over from them until they came back. “At first I just stood
around, watching. That’s how I learned what doctors do, the way they speak and how hospitals are
run. Once you learn how to act like a doctor and talk to patients, the rest is easy,” he told the court.
One of the patients was Laura Kennan, to whom he gave an injection. Although he had great
difficulty in finding the vain and left a nasty bruise on her arm afterwards, she didn’t realise he was a
fake. “He really took me in. He looked so professional in his white coat and spoke like a doctor. If a
policewoman had not come here and showed me his picture, I would never have known who he really
was,” Miss Kennan said when interviewed in her flat in West London yesterday.
Judge Raymond Adlam sentenced York to a year in prison where he must have regular examination
and treatment by psychiatrists. But he is worried that this will lead to further problems. “It will be very
difficult to prevent him from imitating the psychiatrists and convincing people that he is one once he
gets out. After all, he will have a great deal of opportunity to study their ways,” Adlam said.

1. York managed to pass himself off as a doctor because he

a/ observed doctors carefully at his hairdressing salon
b/ filled in for doctors who were away at the time
c/ stated that he had some medical training
d/ was able to walk through hospitals unnoticed
2. The judge was horrified because York
a/ was too young to be a doctor
b/ had been able to steal a doctor’s white coat
c/ had had no proper medical experience at all
d/ had had no difficulty in being accepted as a doctor
3. When York gave Laura Kennan an injection, she
a/ had no idea he was not a proper doctor
b/ realised he was not her usual doctor
c/ told a policewoman she was suspicious of him
d/ asked to be taken to see another doctor
4. During his stay in prison York will
a/ not be allowed any contact with fellow prisoners
b/ be kept under close observation
c/ be prevented from imitating prison staff
d/ be given an opportunity to study

Ferndig Islands
Three miles across the water from the town of Blascott lies the group of islands known as the
Ferndigs. The main island is St Michael. Separated by a narrow channel of water is St Michael’s little
sister, St Margaret. People first lived on these islands 1500 years ago. By the 1950s the population had
gone down to below twenty and in 1960 the last person left the islands. But in 2001 two families
moved back and since then more people have followed. Tourists now visit regularly to enjoy the
beautiful scenery.
Visit the one shop on the islands which sells butter, cheese and bread produced by the families who
live there. the produce is taken by boat to restaurants in Blascott where it can be enjoyed by visitors to
the area. Perhaps more interestingly, a range of perfumes are made from the wild flowers and herbs
which grow on the island and can be bought in the shop. They are produced mainly for export and are
very special. So a visit to the shop is a must!
St Michael Island is easily explored on foot but, in the interest of safety, visitors are requested to
keep to the main footpaths. From where the boats lands, walk along the cliff until you reach a steep
path signposted to the church. When you get there, it is worth spending a moment in this lovely old
building. Carry on along the same path which continues to climb to the highest point on the island.
there is a wonderful view from here along the coastline. If it is warm, you may like to finish your day
relaxing on the beach. Priory Beach on the eastern side of the island is safe for swimming. Sandtop
Bay on the western side is the other sandy beach but swimming is not allowed here.
It is possible to hire a boat to cross to the islands or you can take one of the boat trips which depart
from Blascott harbour in summer, Monday-Friday. The islands are always open to visitors apart from
on Sundays. Buy a ticket for a boat trip from the kiosk in Blascott harbour. The charge for landing on
the islands is included in the ticket but, if you take your own boat, remember to take some money. The
crossing takes thirty minutes and boats run every fifteen minutes.
Before you set off on a trip, visit the exhibition centre which tells the history of the islands and gives
information about birds and wildlife you may see when you get there.
