Unauthorized Person Claiming to be a Doctor in a Lab Coat Gains Access to Hospital's Maternity Ward and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Authorities Declare
In an unusual incident last week, a man posing as a doctor in a lab coat gained access to the birthing center and secured areas at the UVM Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont. Security footage showed the suspect tailgating an employee into the birthing center lobby while wearing a lab coat. Despite identifying himself as a physician, the man was unable to provide an ID badge, raising suspicions among staff members. Upon being confronted, the suspect did not provide any evidence of being a legitimate physician. Staff members immediately called security, who detained the man until Burlington police arrived. The Burlington police did not arrest the man as there was no criminal intent behind the intrusion. The identity of the intruder was not disclosed by the authorities. The hospital is taking steps to remind employees of security procedures and to secure areas with lab coats. UVM Medical Center commends their staff for responding to the intruder effectively. It was not clear if the suspect had any contact with patients. However, he was spotted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, pediatrics unit, and general medicine at UVM Medical Center. Despite the incident, no baby was reported missing or harmed during the incident. An alert was sent to employees last week, describing the suspect as a potential child abductor. Despite this incident, there is no publicly available information about anyone gaining access to the maternity ward and other secured areas of the UVM Medical Center under the pretense of being a doctor in a lab coat. The hospital has assured the public that they are taking the necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of their patients and staff. They are working closely with the Burlington police to investigate the matter further.
