First got scolded for pressing and holding the button, then for pressing and releasing the button.

I entered this medical faccility twice yesterday and was treated like a dick each time.

First time, I pressed and held. Staff basically said 'Didn't you see the OTHER sign? We're very busy, and holding down the bell while we are juggling tasks and trying to help you is SUPER annoying.'

Next time, I pressed and released, and staff went 'We're very busy. If you don't hold down the button like the sign says, we won't know someone is trying to get in.'

Thats where I would say "I see your business doesnt want my business. I will find another doctor that does want my business"

Here in the UK, I don’t think the NHS-employed receptionists would give a fuck, to be honest.

[u/Manannin → u/ukstonerdude]

They'd probably accuse you of being hostile and try and get you removed from the premises.

[u/Nuttyrolo → u/ukstonerdude]

ESPECIALLY the receptionists

I wish I could choose but I have a condition that needs specialists and there are few nearby most of the time.

Where the hell do you live where a doctor is a business? 

[u/moochickenmoomoo → u/berejser]

America. Its why I left my last doctors office. They were money hungry, and my doctor knew it (he was great, but he was just trying to get to retirement) so I found an office that cares more about patients and less about money

Samesies. Wife and I went through 4 doctors over a year trying to find the right one. My favorite was the one that dumped a NP on us and billed for seeing the actual doctor.

Even outside America private practices exist. That's the doctor's own business

[u/moochickenmoomoo → u/Same-Suggestion-1936]

I understand wanting to make money no matter what you do for a living. But these conglomerates that dont talk to you like a human being and instead treat you like a number are exhausting and expensive.

[u/Same-Suggestion-1936 → u/moochickenmoomoo]

Oh yeah for sure, I meant to reply to the guy above you.

I don't care about private practices existing either, as long as there's universal healthcare as an alternative. I mean if you're that good of a doc you can basically be a personal physician to rich people, shoot for the stars if you want, I mean specialties do that too, do your time but get out of ER and intensive care right into a specialty you can have an easier job at it, like reviewing charts instead of dealing with ER crap.

Anyway just saying agreed and my comment wasn't directed at you

[u/Dial_M_for_Manky → u/berejser]

Literally everywhere in the US 🤷‍♂️

[u/Exact-Difference-422 → u/berejser]

It sounds horrible but yeah they operate clinics and hospitals for profit. Stuff like that led to the opiate crisis, doctors got kickbacks for pushing them.
