What Goes Around

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. The parking is horrible so I left ample time to get a parking spot. A few minutes after I arrived at the doctor's office an elderly man walked in with an envelope in his hand. He asked the receptionist if she could give it to Dr Jacobs. My doctor shares the office with two other doctors but their staff was not there. The receptionist said "No". The man kept pleading for her to just take the envelope as it was so hard for him to come back to the office. Again she said "No". She said he should have called first and she was not going to be responsible for his paper since Dr Jacob's staff was not there. I watched in astonishment. He left the office quite upset. When I was taken in to see my doctor, I asked the medical assistant if there was a problem between the doctors. She said there was not. I recounted what I saw while in the waiting room and I was upset too. When my appointment was done, I went to the checkout desk and saw the rude girl. I asked if there were any papers I needed to fill out as my doctor said there were. In a nasty tone she said there were not. I asked again stating that the doctor told me to fill out something before I left. She gave me a sneer and said,"No" again. As I was walking out, the doctor called the front desk to make sure I filled out the paperwork. The receptionist came running after me saying that I needed to come back to complete a form. Now, I said "No". She said that the doctor would be very angry with her if I did not fill out the papers. I said that was her problem, not mine. The rest of the patients in the waiting room chimed in saying, "Just go home". I guess she had been nasty to them, too.
