Leave diagnosis to the doctors

IN response to the letter from Robin Thompson from Sunderland regarding standing in a queue in a doctor’s surgery and overhearing another patient, when asked, tell the receptionist he had a cough.

Well I don’t know about you Robin but I certainly would not be telling a receptionist what was wrong with me, so I feel you judged a tad harshly.

You were expecting the receptionist to tell him to attend a pharmacy – again, I would not be taking that direction either from a receptionist.

As for wanting to take him yourself to a chemist, I feel that would have been met with a bop on your nose. Never judge what you do not know.
