Receptionists are not ****ing trained for triaging and stuff. Most do not understand medical problems and should be there solely to take appointments and such, they should have NO say in if you can see a doctor or not.

There is no way I would share any medical details over the phone full stop, particularly if I had no way of knowing the identity of the person answering and their position and level of competence.
