Maybe you should have said to the receptionist 'I don't know if it's an emergency, but, judging by the test results, if I wait any longer -it might well be' Very difficult.
That's the problem the worst spectrum to be on must be the autistic one and when someone says something that I'm not expecting my mind just empties, eh! what...does not compute and by the time I've realised and thought of an answer it's too late, very frustrating. When anyone criticises the way someone else behaves in a social situation I think how do you know how that person thinks not everyone is the same but some apparently humane people are guilty of judging/misjudging others, I mean what should people do wear a tag explaining our weaknesses, maybe a beanie hat or Harry Potter scarf I think that might be self explanatory!
It's the situation I have in my family @barry island. Both daughters are on the spectrum, although they have different manifestations. I realised very late in life that I am too. C'est la vie. The recent programme that Paddy McGuiness did with his family was very good, and quite heart breaking at times.

@ Fairygirl you sisters "strange occurrence" maybe I have that too you see as we can't actually see the Doctor now I haven't been diagnosed with IBS but as my results were normal-ish that's what I'm hoping for although tinternet says IBS comes on in 20's/30's, I abstained for nearly a month and felt ok so thinking all had sorted itself out I let the reins go a bit on the 25th big mistake back to square one. I used to have a good appetite until a couple of months ago I could eat and drink what I wanted but now I'm like an old maid, bummer!
@Fairygirl I didn't realise until I was about 59 although I knew long before that something wasn't quite right, I hadn't heard of Autism until the 70's and then it was about the severely affected children, then Garry Newman came out with Asperger's and I knew that wasn't me as I'm not gifted at all or have a memory like a "rain man", how I've got through life so I well I thank the lord that I met the woman I married I'm sure no one else would put up with me.
I'll try and remember to ask her what it's called @barry island. I know it came out of the blue and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. It may e something completely different of course.

Sorry @B3 - I've just seen this. I had a small 'argument' with an icy hill a few years ago when I didn't get my ice axe in well enough. Sliding downhill for a couple of hundred feet on your face isn't the best way of exfoliating. The physio was great though, and it's as good as it'll ever be. The other muscle on the front of the arm [deltoid?] takes over the jobs it would have done. That one aches all the time though. I'm used to it now. My cracked ribs were more of a problem because I lie on that side to sleep, so I returned to the settee, propped up, for a few nights. All part of life's ups and downs - literally. The piriformis is a muscle in your bahookie. [I'll translate if needed] and it causes a bit of a problem if, in my case, it traps the sciatic nerve, so I get pain down my leg. In my case, it affects one of my toes too. Again - stretches, and adapting the way I walk a bit, has helped enormously. Driving makes it worse than anything though, so I haven't driven any distance for a while. It's why I've not been on a hill for ages

Thanks @Fairygirl. How awful for you🙁. I'm pretty sure I've worked out what a bahookie is. However, had you been a bloke, I may have needed to choose between two options until I read further😏
Ach - we're made of sturdy stuff up here @B3. I was considering trying out for the luge at the Winter Olympics - I wouldn't even have needed the tea tray
Bahookie's a great word isn't it. Has much more impact than bum.

Fesse (female singular noun) is the French for a bahookie.
I have always described drivers who get too close for comfort as "being up my bum".
One winter when driving home from skiing and taking a rather steep road to avoid traffic jams in Luxembourg there was sign advising drivers to keep their distance because of the risk of "affessements".
