Would that count as impersonating a medical professional? I think it should, but I have no clue if it would actually count or not

I think technically not, as the check in desk wouldn't be a medical professional, but rather clerical staff.

However, the fact that they're impersonating a person who works directly with a doctor should (but likely doesn't by law) count. Frankly I think it's bullshit that it doesn't count, considering the end result would be the same.

I swear to god I am not a violent person but i think with things like this, it should be perfectly legal to slap that person once really hard and walk away.
