Doctor's Receptionist Syndrome

The Doctor's Receptionist Syndrome is the illusion that some doctors receptionists have when they feel they are more important than the doctor who employ them. Others call it a personality flaw in which people suppose that, because they work for someone important like a doctor, they must have an equal claim to status and authority.

These receptionists are mostly full of self importance and seem to think they know medical issues better than the doctor himself (or herself). They also run a tight ship and feel protective about their employers.
