"Like what? To be honest I listen carefully. I value my health. (And don’t listen properly sometimes) "
I went for a chest infection, an she asked if I was sexually active, so my reply was “describe active? There’s active volcanoes that haven’t gone off in 50 years” |

Someone is either sexually active or inactive.
It's not a difficult question.
That's one juvenile response to someone with a very busy day. |

"P.S. No...... If I've gone with a health concern I answer questions because I want answers. "

That’s like the opticians asking if your fertile |

Did the Dr say "Well, I see we won't be needing to examine your funny bone!" |

I tend to assume that they have reasons for asking questions. Not all connections are obvious, like depression can be something opticians need to know about. |

Why the heck would you try and be a smart arse to someone you're seeing because of a genuine health concern?
Not only is it a waste of everyone's time (including those patients waiting patiently to be called who may have serious conditions affecting them) but it's hugely disrespectful  |

For those who don't have a great opinion of GP receptionists - let me tell you. They wouldn't give a toss what your problem is. But they get bollocking if you book them with the wrong person as it's a waste of appointment, time and they have to rebook. |

Opticians often do. Due to the nature of the equipment used for some eye tests.
Maybe your doctor understands the link between oral sex and antibiotic resistant throat bacteria which provide a lovely soupy porridge for knob or pussy bacteria to reproduce in and cause lovely throat and lung infections....
Or maybe they just wanted to warn you about giving oral to a partner while you have an infection. |

"Sometimes you say something stupid and it falls flat. "
Exactly this,we are very privileged to have free access to the NHS and all it's wonderful professionals,hate it when people feel the need to take the piss,especially when so many struggle to access it... |

Thing is though it didn’t cuz she nearly fell off her chair"
To be fair I think it was the way you presented it as if it's a "thing" you look to do all the time - we all make quips in inappropriate circumstances at times for various reasons and I'm sure in the instance you mentioned it was funny at the time. |

The only time I despair with NHS personnel, is when I attend an Eye clinic or Unit for the first time.
I'd virtually no sight in my Left Eye from birth & over the years I've become blind!
So, when I have my eyes tested, I'll be asked to cover my Right Eye and read the wall eyesight chart with my Left eye.
I will respond that I don't see at all with that eye but usually I can see the nurse take a deep breath & look at me as if I don't know what I'm talking about.
Once, I was even told, "let us be the judge of that, so please do as you're asked" only to say a few moments later, "did you know you've a problem with vision in your Left Eye?"
To which I slap my forehead and reply, "So that's what's wrong!!! (then add) believe me, I've known for all my life. I know my own body, so please let ME tell you what's what! OK???"
Grrrr! |

Glad you said it was a knobhead answer not a funny one 
Why do you feel the need to be a knobhead? |

well if you know your doc and have a good relationship with them it's good to have a sense of humour. |
