Flu jab = little hitlers

[vzac]

Why is it when ever I go to doctors surgeries it's like getting interegated by little hitlers, behind there ivory desks. They are so so miserable and unpleasant. I want a tea shirt that says we as customers expect consideration, kindness and understanding, especially when they put up notices about abuse towards them. ( which they should mot have to put up with).
Rant over. Roll on covid jab in a couple of weeks, looking forward to another encounter.

Our doctor's receptionists are pleasant helpful young ladies.

Same here, it must be a Northern thing.

I need to change doctors, West Sussex bit far to go for a flu jab though. Might want to ask them if they would like to emigrate up north, you get a free cup of tea if you can get past watford gap.

Boots the chemist do jabs too.

Most of them are ex nightclub bouncers.
"Nah, mate, you'n not on t'list ..."

About 20 years ago I had to give a stool sample and my doctor asked me to drop it in at the surgery.

Having done the deed I thought it best to conceal the see through plastic test bag inside a Tesco carrier bag.

I went to reception and in a low voice I explained I had come to drop off a stool sample and handed the Tesco bag over.

The old bag behind the desk pulled a right face and said loudly "I hope it's sealed!"

I can't tell you how much I wanted to say " No, I just opened the Tesco bag and shat in it"

 

[M-J]

Or speak to them rather than complain and moan about it online?

How else will they change?

Some of them are not much better, I had to calm the last lady down in boots, she just let rip at me and almost broke down, calmed her down and said hey I am not demanding my prescription happy to wait a day or so, she was so relieved, she said people are demanding stuff right away, but they need 34 hrs from when prescription has been sent from doctors. They have been really nice since. Try them next Yr for flu jab. Thanks

If you can get all that on a T shirt all you will get is slimming pills

Yes, we had ours back on 22 September, because it was earlier than available through our local surgery. All good.

And of course, they'll provide the jab privately if not eligible through the NHS.

Not far of that size according to j. I blame her for all the food she gives me, I was 10 stone when we met. So it's definately her fault.

Isn’t that what a forums for

 

[scotzsue]

All but one of our receptionists are pleasant, in fact as I haven’t seen her or got her when I phoned she may have retired.

 

[vzac]

Yea I keep getting told not to go for the jugglier. Better to rant on here and keep it lightship hearted, and a coffee.

Certainly isn't - ours are great. (Although I'm not surprised they get fed up with the attitude of some patients!)

NHS message ‘phone surgery for flu jab’

Surgery ‘wish the NHS had sent us the vaccine before they messaged everyone. Will phone you when we get it’

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

No issues with our surgery practices receptionists,never had an issue. Always helpful on the phone or face to face.

 

[ambulancekidd]

By & large our surgery receptionists are very friendly & on first name terms with most of their patients. I was in there last week, walked in the door & the receptionist called before I got to the desk to "take a seat Robert, I'll let the nurse know that you're here".
Upon leaving, the call was "take care of you Robert", couldn't be better.

that's nice.

Can't deny though that I would prefer to not be on first name terms at the doctors as that suggests you must a 'frequent flyer'!
I don't even know the name of my Doctor - and I hope to keep it that way

A friend of mine is a doctors receptionist and one day an old man dropped off a stool sample in a brown paper bag she says you would be amazed what people do

Give them a break, they're trying to do their best in difficult circumstances

Not at all. No complaints about my surgery in North Yorks.

Cuh! Receptionists, eh?
Presumably you told the nurse that your name isn't Robert or you could've had a nasty surprise.

Sorry, so are we, no need to have negative attitudes though. Not sure some are trying there best, agree most will be bur?

Did you let her know your real name

Having seen how a large minority of the public behave over the last few years, plus the overwhelming support the government is giving to local medical centre GP's the only thing that surprise's me is that you actually have a Doctor's receptionist.

Kirkham and Wesham Cricket Club, 15 mins down the road from Cod central, walk in covid and flu no appointment needed

 

[gus-lopez]

Here it is covid booster in one arm & flu jab in the other. All done at a large indoor centre. All booked by phone call direct to you. No input from drs. No choice with not having flu jab I don't believe?

cant beat cod central p.s. i am not a cod ed, just happen to have moved here recently, that why we got the motorhome, to get out as much as possible. Having said that there have been lots of mo/ho here this summer, on the aire, and free camping on the front (prom) (the local council are trying to put a stop to that, and the mp is agreeing with them)
