The receptionist praised for "arresting" a patient who did not want an "Asian doctor"

The receptionists support a lot of sticks every day.

They must deal personally with angry people and angry people who file complaints over the phone.

And they often try to do everything with a smile.

But sometimes, someone does something with which he does not agree at all and who decides that too much is too much.

This is the situation recently faced by a receptionist at a Glasgow general practitioner's office when she is dealing with a patient seeking a doctor's appointment.

The receptionist was congratulated by a doctor who surprised the insolent exchange between the two men.

Dr. Punam Krishan went on Twitter to express his gratitude to his team, following the incident.

She claims that one patient told the receptionist that he did not want to see her because they "do not want an Asian doctor".

The receptionist responded by pointing out that Dr. Krishan was actually "Scottish".

Unimpressed by this response, the patient reportedly said, "She does not look Scottish".

And the last words of the receptionist?

They replied, "What do Scots look like?"

Dr. Krishan tweeted the conversation adding that it had ended with a "silence".

She added that the patient had finally made the appointment that she had been offered and that she was "so proud" of her team for the way she had handled things.

His position has since become viral, with over 16,000 retweets and 92,000 likes.

One person commented: "Great answer."

Another posted: "Great that your team has handled the situation so well, sad that they had to do it."

A third added: "Love the bad of your receptionist."

A fourth wrote: "Excellent tweet, it's good to see people stand up against racism and fight it head-on."

Many others thought that the operation should have refused to treat the patient after he had behaved in this way.

However, Dr. Krisham stated that she would not discriminate in this way.

She told BBC Scotland: "It is important to treat the person who precedes me and to watch for his safety and integrity.

"It's not fair to refuse someone who needs help."

She added, "My receptionist put this person in their place and they left with food for thought."
