police the fact that someone was going around with a false/someone

It is not an offence of itself to carry someone else's driving
licence, or even to claim that it is yours. You would need to use it
to gain an advantage that you are not entitled to.

If someone had presented that to me, I would have, but I'm not in
the medical profession.

What crime do you believe the person would have been committing?

I think the implication is that they are attempting to pass themself
off as someone else in order to obtain medical treatment that they
otherwise wouldn't be entitled to.

I can't see any valid reason why someone should present a third
party's documents to a doctor and claim "this is me", even if legal,
it's medically a bloody stupid thing to do.

Ah yes, Mr XYZ. I remember now, you were listed for that extremely
painful rectal exam at your next visit....
