    told to call 999 instead of being offered on-the-spot treatment just meters from the doors of the hospital.
    I would hypothesize, that had that been an expat patient, the son would have done the "loud, angry gwei lo routine" at that half-wit girl to bloody well call a doctor and wouldn't have just accepted her bs "party line"

    I agree. It's not just the poor receptionist who was clearly not thinking for herself in this case, appalling though it was. I would have screamed the place down if that had been me trying to get a doctor!

    I think the world would be better and we'd all be healthier if smoking never was invented.

    I've never understood what's good about smoking.

    Eh? So if he'd been single and just, say, delivering the newspapers it would have been perfectly OK for her to do so?

    Of course not, but knowing makes it even (if possible) worse. She knows him and still walks away ?
