Phoned up the other week for drs appointment, it is an ongoing problem, receptionist then asks me to explain what the problem is, I tell her, and lo and behold she comes out with oh it’s probably just a ........! I answer No! It isn’t, Anyone else ringing up and getting a receptionist diagnosing, It beggars belief

I never give a receptionist any of my medical history. It 's between my Dr. and me. If asked I might say "it's not urgent" or "it's a problem I need to discuss with my Dr. or " it's confidential"
