Background

Ban doctor receptionist’s from asking a patient for personal medical reasons why they are requesting an appointment to see a doctor.

Additional details

We believe doctors receptionist’s have no right to ask for medical symptoms when asking to see a doctor and they should not have the authority to decide whether or not a patient gets an appointment. Receptionists are not qualified to assess patients symptoms and patients have the right to confidentiality.
