I
called
up
this
practice
to
book
an
urgent
appointment
and
was
booked
in
for
a
Telehealth
consult
with
a
doctor
at
3pm.
Then
at
3pm
I
receive
a
call
from
the
receptionist
saying
that
her
colleague
had
made
a
'mistake'
and
overbooked.
She
then
asked
if
I
could
come
in
to
the
practice
before
4pm
to
see
the
doctor
as
they
were
apparently
"booked
up
and
very
busy".
So
I
rushed
to
get
there
as
soon
as
I
could.
When
I
got
there
the
practice
was
empty
and
the
two
reception
ladies
were
sitting
there
casually
chatting
without
their
masks
on.
You
would
imagine
that
being
a
clinic,
COVID
precautions
and
safety
measures
would
be
taken
seriously
here.
However,
the
receptionists
and
phlebotomist
were
roaming
around
the
clinic
without
masks
on.
One
of
the
ladies
was
having
a
cold
(hopefully
not
COVID)
and
she
still
did
not
have
the
common
sense
to
put
her
mask
on
while
there
was
a
patient
in
the
clinic.
I
also
overheard
her
speaking
to
one
of
their
doctors
on
the
phone
who
had
called
to
inform
the
receptionist
that
her
husband
had
tested
positive
for
COVID
and
that
she
needs
to
reschedule
all
her
appointments
for
that
week
while
she
isolated.
Hearing
that
made
me
even
more
uncomfortable
about
being
there
and
I
would
have
walked
out
if
it
wasn't
urgent
that
I
saw
the
doctor.
The
whole
experience
was
so
unprofessional
and
uncomfortable.
Their
practice
and
standards
go
against
health
and
safety
regulations
that
are
set
by
the
Government
during
a
time
like
this,
and
they
are
recklessly
putting
their
patient's
health
at
risk.
The
doctor
that
I
saw,
Dr
Khoo,
did
not
help
me
feel
any
better
about
the
practice
at
all.
He
was
so
cold
and
uninterested
about
the
issue
that
brought
me
in,
and
his
response
to
all
my
concerns
was
"just
monitor
it
and
come
back
if
symptoms
worsen".
He
barely
made
eye
contact
with
me
throughout
the
consult.
The
only
thing
that
he
did
which
I
was
happy
about
was
check
my
range
of
motion.
If
a
patient
tells
you
that
they
had
a
sudden
pain
onset
of
8/10
in
their
back,
it
would
be
comforting
to
the
patient
if
you
ordered
further
tests/scans
and
investigate
the
issue
more.
He
could
clearly
see
that
I
was
unsatisfied
with
the
answers
he
was
giving
me,
but
it
just
seemed
like
he
had
no
idea
what
to
do.
I
will
definitely
not
be
attending
this
practice
again
and
will
ensure
none
of
my
friends
or
family
innocently
put
their
health
at
risk
here.
It
was
a
waste
of
my
time
rushing
there
in
time
for
the
appointment,
then
waiting
30
mins
to
see
the
doctor.
After
all
this,
just
to
go
home
and
feel
no
better
about
my
concerns.
