I've had it out I don't know how many times with my OB's receptionist. Last time (about a week ago), I said something along the lines of, "Pardon me if I don't take my medical advice from a fucking secretary"
Everytime she is bitchy to me, I find a way to refer to her as a "secretary" as it drives them batshit crazy.
I also told my OB that now I understand why the front of the reception desk is so high.......to protect the pregnant and hormonal patients from diving over the desk and thumping the living shit out of her bitchy employees.
Haha I have a temp secretary in my office and he is so far up his on bum that if anybody said that to him I may wet myself. He hands out medical advice, reads patients notes out to them and disagrees with everything a dr does haha.
Yeah I'm not very good at holding my tongue....
Even when I'm not pregnant its not a strong virtue of mine. I tend to call it like I see it and sometimes that works to my benefit, sometimes not.
I can't stand when she tries to give me medical advice/opinion on anything. I'm sorry,
I came to see your BOSS.....the one with the schooling. Gah, I get worked up just thinking about her. I called one time to speak to my OB and of course the friggin "gatekeeper" had to know what it was about. Long story short, I was completely legitimate with my concerns, but the receptionists response to me was, "Oh hunny, you can't believe everything you read on the internet"
I was VERY clear with her that I'm not a fucking moron and know exactly what I'm looking for when doing research. That conversation ended with me telling her that the next time she wanted to pull a heavy with a patient, she should really think long and hard about which patient she chooses because if she ever spoke to me in such a condescending way again, she was the one who would need to see a doctor.
Pleasant girl aren't I? LMAO
