GP's Receptionists

A genuine exchange over the phone between me and my GP's surgery:

Operator: Can you confirm your name, date of birth and first line of your address please?

Me: Details here...

O: Ok Mr Murphy, what can we do for you?

M: Can I have an appointment with Dr Heatley please?

O: Oh, dear, um, you're only down as a temporary resident on the screen, you'll need to come in and fill out a form so we can put you back on the screen.

M: Um... ok... didn't you say I was on the screen?

O: Yes, but you're not there as well.

I appear to be suffering an existential crisis...
