A twenty-year-old woman from Ealing has been convict of assault after pretending to be a doctor and administering an unknown substance to a patient.
Kreuena Zdrafkova, a Bulgarian national living on Uxbridge Road, donned medical clothing and entered Ealing Hospital on 19 April this year. She was aged 19 at the time.
According to a report in The Sun, she ‘treated’ patient who had been brought into the hospital under arrest. CCTV footage shows her introducing herself to two officers guarding the prisoner as ‘Dr Christina’ wearing blue medical gloves.
She then injected an unknown substance it to the mouth of the unconscious prisoner with a syringe. There is no suggestion that she specifically targeted the patient and her treatment was described as ‘compassionate’ even though she was living out a fantasy.
The officers later learned that there was no Dr Christina at the hospital and initiated an unsuccessful search for Zdrafkova. However, three days later she returned to the hospital wearing a stethoscope and was arrested.
At a trial at Isleworth Crown Court, it was revealed that she had ambitions to become a doctor. In mitigation it was pointed out that she had been married at 14 and had two twin daughters aged six which ruled out any chance of a career in medicine. However, as part of her sentence she is now banned from entering any NHS facility unless she needs emergency treatment.
She entered a guilty plea to a charge of assault and was given a 12-month community order and order to undertake 15 days of rehab. She had been remanded in custody for seven weeks provided
