( CNN ) -- A Florida jury found a teenager guilty Thursday of impersonating a physician assistant and practicing medicine without a license . Matthew Scheidt spent some two weeks posing as a professional at the Osceola Regional Medical Center in August 2011 . He was just 17 at the time . Scheidt told investigators he went to the hospital last year to get a badge for his job as a clerk at a doctor 's office across the street . But he said someone botched the paperwork . He was charged with two counts of impersonating a physician assistant and three counts of practicing medicine without a license . He was found guilty on four of the five counts , excluding one count of practicing medicine without a license . Scheidt is scheduled to be sentenced on November 14 . Each count carries a maximum of five years in prison . According to prosecutors , Scheidt worked in the hospital 's emergency room , changing bandages and helping to conduct exams . He sported a lab coat , scrubs and a stethoscope , in addition to the badge that identified him as a physician assistant . He held the hand of a child who was getting sutures and helped to restrain an unruly psychiatric patient , trial testimony showed . After his arrest , Scheidt admitted to performing CPR on a patient suffering from a drug overdose , authorities told CNN affiliate WFTV . `` I felt so uncomfortable even doing that . And , you know , the only reason why I did do it was because there was nobody else in there . And I 'm not going to let her die , '' he told investigators at the time , according to the television station . During his interrogation , Scheidt confessed and admitted he had made mistakes , according to WFTV . `` I messed up . I should have addressed the issue when it was given to me . I just did n't want any questions asked , like I just wanted to learn as much as I possibly could , '' he said . Scheidt pleaded not guilty to the charges and had sought to get his confession thrown out of court . The defense argued that Scheidt presented himself as a student , not a physician assistant , and that whatever contact he had with patients was minimal and meant simply to provide comfort . He was arrested in September 2011 and allowed to bond out . But in January , Scheidt was back in police custody . The charge : impersonating a police officer . CNN 's Lateef Mungin and In Session 's Aletse Mellado contributed to this report .
