When I volunteered in the ED I had a few people ask if I was the doctor when I was taking their information. I would be wearing a pair of jeans and a red golf shirt that said "ER Volunteer" and an ID tag around my neck that also said "ER Volunteer" on it.Not an urban legend. One night when I was an ED volunteer - with scrubs of a distinctly different color, with "volunteer" monogrammed on the chest - I was emptying the linens when a patient started arguing with their doc (a woman). The doc told the patient to sit back and let her do the exam, but the patient wanted to see a real doctor, and pointed to me.
