By all accounts, Greig Ferguson was an accomplished physician long before he got his job as an emergency room nurse practitioner at the National Health Service hospital St Mary’s Treatment Center in Portsmouth, England. He was a decorated military veteran who had seen action in the Gulf, and he’d previously worked for County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Also, he was an accomplished liar, because he had done none of those things; County General Hospital is the fictional hospital from the TV show ER , and it was one of many lies on Ferguson’s resume . He lied about having worked at the hospital and having been in the military as part of a plan to pad his resume a bit. You see, he’d actually graduated with a nursing degree from the nearby University of Portsmouth in 2002, but he was having a little trouble landing a job. So he embellished his CV a bit; after all, haven’t we all seen enough ER to feel like we worked at County General Hospital by now? Even me, a non-fan of the show, has seen it about 100 times. Of course, the deception was eventually found out, and Ferguson was fired. However, it did work for over a year, and he’s now employed as a handyman in Scotland, so it didn’t turn out all bad. At least he was an actual nurse, and not a total fraud.
