My aunt was a receptionist for our local surgery, no one liked her. She’d constantly asked why patients needed to see a doctor and questioned those when she deemed the illness “not worth doctor time” she loved the fake authority she had. She eventually got sacked for ironically having to many sick days
That’s because they are.
because they are.
“Are you alive? Sorry call back tomorrow.”
Because they are the first line of defense when Charlene and Micky start a fight in the waiting room because their alcohol withdrawal symptoms are kicking in, and their benefits haven’t come through yet, the lovely Lucy, behind the desk, is the only one there to break things up!
Because they are. I don’t envy them. I used to repair computers and the general public can be fucking goblins when dealing with customer service. I can’t imagine doing it with the added stress of health issues. Fair play to them. If some patients had their way then they would have an hour long appointment every time they got the sniffles.
Because they are.
Went to the doctors, sat down cause the receptionist was on the phone. Waited 40 mins before thinking wtf… Asked and she asked me whether I’d let her know that I was there! Like… I’ve been sitting in this tiny waiting room and you let me sit there! Surely the doctor should’ve called my name if I was there or not…
