Montreal police are looking for a woman who allegedly posed as a doctor and gave a hospitalized patient a fake brain-cancer diagnosis.

A director for two affiliated Montreal hospitals said the suspect spoke with one patient at each institution on Monday.

Ann Lynch said no patients were harmed by the woman, who posed as a physician in the emergency rooms at the Royal Victoria Hospital and Montreal General Hospital.

...

The report said the patient panicked after hearing the diagnosis, which attracted the attention of emergency room staff and security.
