The Receptionist At Every Doctor's Office

[SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

She forgot how the receptionist ignores you standing there for at least a full minute, as though your being there is completely interfering with whatever else she’s doing. When she finally opens the window, she looks at you like you’re not supposed to be there.

Love how she raised her voice to let everyone inside and OUTside the office know that the patient has no insurance and would have to pay out of pocket. Yes, now the whole building understands.🤣🤣🤣

The eating food like an absolute weirdo is what got me

[lenanicole]

The patronizing, condescending tone and thinly veiled complete contempt for your existence is toooo accurate

[AlexandrasGirlyTalk]

the highly-controlled irritability is.. award winning.

[sourojeet]

That "soft, polite" quintessential fake receptionist accent is spot on! I always cringe when I hear it...bravo, Caitlin.

[Jenslick]

The shift in the tone of voice from friendly to condescending gave me anxiety just watching this.

I've always been struck how there are HIPAA rules protecting a patient's privacy, and then you have these receptionists who ask loudly for all of your personal information in front of the waiting room.

[Wilderness]

I love how doctors are always running so late and you wait for ages, but if you turn up 5 minutes late you are chastised. And then still wait for ages because they are so far behind.

I'm Deaf, and I feel comforted that receptionists like this are a universal experience. I truly thought I was being treated differently due to my disability.

[UliTroyo]

You captured the barely-contained bottled contempt perfectly.

This gave me anxiety just watching. The way she mumbles her question and then yells it annoyingly after you don't hear the first time is SO accurate.

[Leilani]

as a delivery driver who delivers to business and doctor's offices all day every day, each receptionist is... an experience lol
she nailed the energy lmao

[sianoreilly]

So accurate. In the UK we don’t have the insurance section but have the added joy of the receptionist demanding to know what you’re going into see the doctor for and then repeating it LOUDLY across the waiting room.

[susanthefish]

The way she eats like she's putting a tape in the VCR is really satisfying and I can't explain why

[FlyGuy]

I love how she is quiet except for yelling your financial information to the entire office.

[shay]

The way she dusts her hands off after eating is crazy accurate lmaoooo

[bitticlan]

My social anxiety is through the roof just watching this. Masterpiece as always.

[wabi_sabi]

Roaring out to the whole room that this person is without insurance is so accurate. I usually find that they speak at a normal volume until it's time to mention what medications you're on--then they go up a few decibels. Hard to believe they don't get off on the power and control aspect and delight in making you uncomfortable/embarrassed. Caitlin is so spot on with these impressions, so funny.

The aggressively loud “YOU’RE HAVING A MOLE LOOKED AT” 😂
