| Jan 31 at 15:58 | comment | added | Stančikas | @Michael Hall The question is about if the clinic has right to refuse medical help on the grounds the visitor only wishes to talk to the doctor. Not all grounds of refusing medical help are legal. You cannot longer say "we do not serve n...s" if they come with the proper health insurance. It looked obvious for me but I now also made an edit addressing this. | |

| Jan 23 at 17:20 | comment | added | Michael Hall | In most western societies private citizens have a "right" to choose whether to talk to someone, or not talk to someone without government interference. The receptionist in this case is likely just following procedures that the clinic has implemented to gather information up front. I don't really see a useful legal question in this. (push-button automated phone menus annoy me, do I have a right to not engage with them? Of course!) | |
| Jan 23 at 16:54 | comment | added | ohwilleke | Certainly, there is no such right in the U.S., but I have no idea what the law would be in Switzerland. | |
| Jan 23 at 16:29 | comment | added | PMF | @mvoigt Normally, everybody has his/her "house doctor", whom you visit first if you've got a medical problem. Your insurance contract can even require you to visit that doctor first (instead of running to some highly-paid-specialist). So normally, you will get an appointment with that doctor, but there might be a delay if it's not really urgent. | |
| Jan 23 at 15:32 | comment | added | nvoigt | Do you think you have a "right to an appointment" with a specific doctor? Why do you think they cannot refuse you for (non discriminatory) reasons they see fit? | |

| Jan 23 at 12:21 | comment | added | Trish | you do realize that most people in the swiss speak fluent English and/or French? You just have to ask them if they could try english. | |
| Jan 23 at 10:19 | comment | added | PMF | If you politely directly ask for an appointment, I don't think she'll refuse. The reason the chat is usually lengthy is to avoid needless consultations as well as to determine the urgency of your call. | |
