Got humiliated at a clinic just for following directions. I’m still pissed.

I went to a clinic today to get a basic health certificate signed — nothing complicated, just needed a general MBBS doctor to stamp it for university. My sister also goes to the same clinic for treatment, but I wasn’t there as a patient. I had my own format and everything ready.

While I was waiting, the gynecologist’s assistant called me in. I hesitated because I knew the gynec wasn’t the right doctor to certify my form, but I figured they’d redirect me or at least tell me what to do next. So I walked in.

I politely told the gynec that I needed an MBBS signature on my medical certificate, not a specialist’s. She said, “Wait 10 minutes.” I said okay and went back to wait — no drama, no fuss.

Then my sister (who’s the actual patient of the gynec) was called in. And when she came out… she tells me the doctor said:

“Tumhari behen ko kuch samajh mein nahi aata hai kya?”
TRANSLATION: (Does your sister not understand anything?)

Excuse me??? I didn’t just walk in randomly — your own assistant called me. I was polite, respectful, just trying to get my work done like a normal adult. And instead of just clarifying or moving on, you insult me behind my back?

Honestly? That stung. I didn’t argue, I didn’t create a scene. I even waited patiently after being brushed off. And I’m the one who gets disrespected?

And the best part? I’m a paying client.
I was literally there to get something done, not to waste anyone’s time.

It wasn’t even that big of a deal, but it messed with my mood so bad. Felt small, felt stupid, felt like I should’ve just kept quiet and never gone in. I left feeling humiliated for no reason and quietly promised myself I’ll never step into that clinic again.

It’s wild how such small, dismissive comments from someone in a position of power can completely ruin someone’s day — or even shake their confidence. You never know what someone’s already dealing with, and then you go and treat them like they’re nothing?

Anyway. I needed to let this out.
