Object-Oriented Swift

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've checked a lot of other questions and answers people have posted to try and get an idea, but I'm still not getting it. Could someone explain please?

objects.swift 
class Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String

    init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
        self.firstName = firstName
        self.lastName = lastName
    }

    func getFullName() -> String {
        return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
    }
}

// Enter your code below
class Doctor: Person {  

    override func getFullName() -> String {
        return "Dr. \(lastName)"
    }
}

let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
