You can assume the paramedics did not follow the proper procedure, and that his friend aught to go to the emergency room himself to verify that he is OK. People do make mistakes.
The paramedics are potentially unreliable as well, though given the litigious nature of our society I would fully expect the paramedics to be extremely reliable in taking people to the emergency room, which would still cast doubt on the friend.
Still, if you want to be polite, just say “if you are concerned, you should go to the emergency room anyway” and keep your doubts about the man’s veracity to yourself. No doubt the truth would have come out at that point as well.
