I am guessing that a 'medical episode' is referring to a medical condition suffered by someone without actually specifying exactly what it was. As an example, this could mean someone had suffered a stroke or a fit.
My father in law has MS and he drove up to the point when he shouldn't have and drove across a roundabout once! He wouldn't listen to anybody...
I also know of an old gent right now who's eyesight is terrible and he can't concentrate on his driving, but won't listen to reason.
So again I say I hope the police will check to see whether or not should be driving in the first place.
