Peel House is run by a set of complete muppets, masquerading as receptionists. Someone needs to tell these women that they do not have any medical training/qualifications and therefore have no right to tell you when or if you can see a doctor. They should not be asking what is wrong with you - its none of their business.

I resort to cheating to get an appointment. I either tell them that some test results have returned and Doctor X wants to see me about them or that I had an emergency doctor out last night and he has recommended I see my GP. That seems to be the only way I can make appointments for my family without them asking questions.

The way I see it, is if I am worried enough to take the time off work to see a doctor, then I want to see a doctor, not a receptionist.
