No Doctor, especially not a police Doctor, would have been convinced by this mans pretense at asthma any more than you were. Askng someone with a heavy cold 'So what part of what your symptoms do you think constitute an emergency'? is a question that we dare not ask. The worse thing of all all is that in these circumstances, the most we can do is to sheepisly pass them on, with apologies, to the nearset A&E department. Our system works on trust and the common sense of the general public....when that fails or is taken advantage of, we just end up in la la land....all you can do then is decide which of the teletubbies you want to be and proceed accordingly.
