Lousy doctor

I had a bad flu since last week and so I finally decided to see a doctor last night. I left work early at 830pm (yes this is considered early) and reached the clinic near my place at 910pm. The receptionist insist that she cannot take in any more patients as the doctor was suppose to leave at 9 SHARP and they do not pay the doctor for overtime. You would imagine that she was explaining to me kindly, but NO, she was shouting at me over the counter while packing her stuff. Totally opposite of how you would treat a customer, especially when it's a sick person. I believe I appeared sick enough, with my sneezing and sniffing, to show that I needed immediate consultation and medication. And I only needed the medicine for a common flu (ermm, and mc of cos) so it's gonna be fast. Plus I just got off from work, how to reach anytime earlier?
And so after 3 minutes of my 死缠烂打, she finally grabbed my parkway health card and punched in the codes, mumbling (out loud) how she should not accept anymore patients. She found my records and chucked it through the window to the doctor. And I thought yes, I did it! But NOOooo, the evil doctor pushed my card back out and said he DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANYMORE PATIENTS! WTH! And this got the receptionist rambling (a.k.a. shouting) on and on again on how they close at 9 and I should have went earlier and they do not pay these doctors OT so they shouldnt make him stay and bla bla bla.. Lousy part-time doctor! Must be one of those who just graduated, running extra shifts at clinics to increase their miserable pay at the hospitals. What if I was dying? What if my flu worsen at night, developing to pneumonia? And you, lousy doctor, rather I sneeze and cough throughout the night than to leave 5 minutes later because you were not getting any OT? I was really pissed and was SO ready to complain once I get an email address.
After visiting the clinic again this morning, I couldnt find any email address or namecards in the clinic =\ I wasnt sure if the doctor was the one last night, so I didnt dare to open my mouth as that would risk my mc (other than when he had to check my throat). And I couldnt find any Greenlife Clinic & Surgery group email online either. So here I am, writing it down on my miserable blog which nobody would read. I truly believe in WOM (word-of-mouth) so if you do read this, please help to spread the message: IF YOU ARE A DOCTOR, PLEASE HAVE SOME 医德.
