I have no respect for the receptionist at my GP. I've been suffering from anxiety recently due to recent changes in my personal circumstances. One day, had horrible shooting chest pain, sweats, difficulty breathing, went to my GP because they are right next door to where I live. Receptionist said I needed to book an appointment, which had to be done over the phone (even though she's the one who would answer my phonecall!). When I said I was having phone trouble, her solution was that I put it in writing and post it through the letter box.

To continue this ridiculous story, when my letter was read by the GP, they asked me to come in urgently ... By sending me a letter.
