Street at VA Medical Cntr Oct 27, 2005 I receive treatment at a VA Medical facility and have an ongoing stressful situation. One of the receptionist has indicated for quite a while that she 'likes' me, but I have no interest. During my last visit, I overheard comments about being gay and was subjected to rudeness and totally unprofessional conduct including unfriendly spectators from other sections of the hospital who were her friends. I need to continue quarterly visits, but dread the hostility. Please recommend the least stressful way to resolve this problem without involving my primary care physician. |

 If the behavior of the clinic staff (receptionist or other) is rude, inappropriate, disrespectful of patients such as yourself, or mocking, then you should report the behavior to her supervisor, to a clinic administrator or to your own physician. You should not have to put up this when you're trying to take care of your medical treatment. | ||||||||
