Yeah. Some receptionists don't care and just do what they're told, rather than having some empathy and paying attention to patients' needs.
Over time, I've found out that most doctors offices have gaps in their schedules that they reserve for "urgent matters." So basically, they won't schedule anyone for a certain time slot each week in case someone calls in and says they're having severe symptoms. So realistically, they could have been able to fit you in sooner if they wanted to, but they probably lumped you in with everyone else instead of thinking of it as urgent. So, sometimes you have to stress that your matter IS urgent and put your foot down... because rectal bleeding IS an urgent matter. Obviously you're fine now, but if you were still bleeding, I would say you should put your foot down and tell them NO to rescheduling for the end of June.
