Patient who objected to 'Asian doctor' silenced
A GP has praised the receptionist at a Glasgow surgery for silencing a patient who said they did not want to see an "Asian doctor".
Dr Punam Krishan took to Twitter to express her pride in her team - and described the positive response to her post as "uplifting".
She said the receptionist had explained that Dr Krishan was Scottish, only to be told: "She doesn't look Scottish."
The receptionist then replied: "What do Scottish people look like?"
This story made me smile today. Dr Krishan goes on to state that she was happy to treat the racist patient despite their bigotry. Good on ya girl.
Decency 1 - 0 Bigotry
This is actually what a Scottish Doctor looks like.
'So uplifting'
However, she said she had been encouraged by the reaction to her latest post, which has received more than 54,000 likes and been retweeted more than 8,400 times in 24 hours.
So is your take away from this that most westerners are Bigots or is it maybe a little more positive? People like that guy are clearly in the minority IMHO
