"A friend" who works for in the medical profession told me about a
patient who arrived for an appointment. He asked for his name, but as
he was foreign couldn't understand it, so asked him to spell it. In
response he offered his driving licence to copy it from.

But on seeing the licence, the picture was nothing like the person
presenting it. In fact not even the same skin colour!

I said "Well I assume you asked him to sit in the waiting room, while
you went and called the police!"

It's not a crime to present another person's driving licence to a
doctor.

Of course, the patient may have said 'jkljlkjl jkljl jlk jlk jkl jlk jlkj
lkj lkj kljl kj lkjk l jklj lkjlkjlkjlkklj jkljlkjlk', which translates as
'This is my cousin's driving licence, which he asked me to look after, and
he has the same surname as me - so you can get my name from that'
