Dr’s secretary being unhelpful- got very wheezy/ crackly chest

Why are they sometimes like this? They act like the gatekeepers of the castle.

Every time I breathe in I’m wheezing like crazy despite steroid inhalers. Sometimes I can hear crackles in my chest. She said to me I’d have to call back in the morning and ask for an appointment. I knew there were emergency appointments available this afternoon and begged for a dr to at least call me and she grudgingly added me to the list.

I’m scared I’ve got pneumonia.

Because there are limited slots and everyone phones up demanding an appointment for that day whether its for your reason ( a very reasonable use of an emergency appointment) or a fungal nail infection. Unfortunately, they have to triage but I’m sorry they’ve made you feel like you’ve had to push for an emergency apt.
