As someone who works in customer service, this scenario sounds totally plausible, and would explain why they would schedule a psychological exam.
Speculators will speculate. It's just too easy these days to simply look up the guy, see a pic, and determine truth or falsehood of his claims. This should never have even come to our attention, if the staff at the hospital was sharp.
