Most doctors I go to here have the nurse take all the symptoms and write them down
I get the impression, from things other people have said, that that's the US system, and that in the UK someone in Mary's position (is she a nurse or is she the office receptionist?) wouldn't know why the patient was coming in.
Also, I hate having to tell my symptoms to the nurse (or often not even a nurse, I don't think), especially when I'm standing at the damn front desk of the clinic without any privacy.
