Rude receptionist destroyed my faith in medical practice

After being a loyal patient at this GP practice for 7 years, I am deeply frustrated by the unprofessional conduct of their new receptionist, who not only spoke to me disrespectfully but also blatantly lied to my face when I tried to explain my medical needs. Her main issue stemmed from my difficulty spelling "coeliac disease" due to my Greek background. When I attempted to clarify that sometimes I struggle with spelling because English isn't my first language, she coldly retorted that if I don't know how to spell my own condition, how could she be expected to type it correctly. I was forced to return in person to make my request, and she then denied ever saying what I clearly remembered. The practice needs to hire receptionists who are genuinely suited to working in a medical environment and who possess the necessary compassion and communication skills. Healthcare professionals are meant to support patients, not humiliate or deceive them.
