The impostor in the ER

3/13/08

Katrina Brooke felt well prepared for the birth of her son, Andrew, three Aprils ago. The only complication was her Caesarean section; otherwise, everything went smoothly. After three days in the hospital, Brooke returned to her home outside of Seattle to recover and enjoy her baby boy.

Three weeks later, as Brooke stood in her kitchen opening mail, she found a curious $94 bill from a local health clinic, a place neither she nor her husband had ever heard of. Stranger still, the notice was addressed to her newborn son: Andrew had apparently visited the clinic and been prescribed the painkiller OxyContin for a work-related back injury.

It seemed like a simple clerical error at first one that might even have been funny, considering the only labor Andrew had been involved in was his own birth. But the more Brooke scrutinized the letter, the more concerned she grew. Andrews middle name was on the bill, and no one knew the babys full name but a handful of friends and family as well as the hospital, where she had filed the paperwork for Andrews birth certificate, which included their familys home address and Social Security numbers and Brookes maiden name.
