Fir park staff struggle with basic patient communication

Regrettably, certain staff members at Fir Park fall short of expectations, with the medical professionals particularly disappointing. This morning, a trainee doctor conducted a thorough examination and, after consulting a colleague, determined I required a FIT test for fecal blood, along with additional blood tests, and recommended a hospital referral. He provided me with two forms to submit at reception. Upon approaching the receptionist, I was met with a vacant stare and a bewildered "what?" when attempting to hand over the documents. Rather than responding with sarcasm, I found myself explaining my need for a FIT test and blood tests to her and everyone within listening range. The receptionist ultimately processed the FIT test kit and informed me she would send a link to schedule blood tests elsewhere, as their earliest availability was May 14th. While the appointment system has shown improvement and the doctors remain competent, some staff members appear woefully unprepared to interact with patients, especially those dealing with health concerns. This suggests either inadequate training or personnel unsuited to their roles in a healthcare setting.
