. . . a patient secretly playing the role of a doctor and ends up curing their actual doctor after being seen by him?

I assume playing the role of a doctor then billing for that could result in a prison term. So, there is that.

Yes, delusion of grandeur.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
It's a compound trope. There are terms for it's constituent parts but checking the trope wiki, no term for the full monty.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
It's called practicing medicine without license and will probably wind you up in jail whether you cure someone or not.
