yes have to agree with debs, unless you think he's being genuine, tell him if he's not well then he needs to be in his pyjamas and in bed. Its usually possible to make a sensible judgement about these things, on occasion your going to have to double check to be on the safe side but trust your instincts. Also if you do have to take him to the hospital have a quiet word witht the staff and say he's done this a lot for attention in the past so please no fussing over him. I would say definitely a plea for your attention for whatever reason so find a way of him getting it in other ways.
