Then you shouldnt have had to fill in the landing card. See
5.2.1 on page 12 so that you can stand your ground the next time. Just out of curiousity, was a stamp placed in your passport as well while you were being admitted?

With A&E waiting times being what they are and GP appointments taking ages to arrange these days, all sorts of people (immigration, banks, hairdresser, postman) slip in a little quick health oriented question
Nice to know that the Immigration Officers are being nice to you instead of thinking "...just my luck to run into a doctor.If I can be kept waiting so long for seeing him, its time I repaid the favour..." and taking the frustration out on you for having to wait so long. Also cant imagine what would happen if you ran into an IO who just had a rigid Rectosigmoidoscopy the day before.
