Irrational patients cause me distress
I'm a part-time receptionist at a medical institute. I've recently had a tough time handling patients.
Some patient shouted at me, "how long are you going to keep me waiting?" Others came in the fully booked period, yelling at me, "I'm in emergency. Have the doctor see me first." Sometimes we have one who got angry when I responded with a smile, "Why are you smiling?" Even such troublesome patients soften in front of doctors perhaps because they become relaxed after venting their fury against me.
Different from our counterparts in other kinds of business, we hospital receptionists need to be quite attentive to cater to various types of patients. Judging from their expressions or behaviors, we've always cared about their conditions and tried to be empathetic to them. We just wanted to say, "Good for you" when they recovered.
These days I come across unreasonable behaviors of patients, which rip me apart makes me feel betrayed. I consider myself as if I became a public punching bag. How can I pull through this situation?

We just wanted to say, "Ggood for you" when they recovered.
"Good for you" sounds a bit strange here. It is a phrase that sometimes carries a tone of sarcasm, or like you don't actually care. If someone is bragging or something good happens to someone you don't like, it is common to say "good for you" sarcastically. Especially given that these patients berated you on the way in.
These days when I come across unreasonable behaviors of patients, whichpatient behavior, it rips me apart and makes me feel betrayed.
I consider mysfeelf as if I have becaome a public punching bag.
"I consider myself" usually has a more positive tone, such as "I consider myself to be a good listener." It isn't used very often to say self-deprecating things. It can be, but it doesn't sound natural here because you're talking about how other people view you, not necessarily how you view yourself (I hope.)
How can I pull through this situation?

I changed the tense from past to present on some of your sentences because you are talking about something you do regularly, every time you check a patient in and every time you see them off.
Hang in there. You do an incredibly important service to society. I am sorry to hear that the patients treat you so poorly.

Great writing. It seems like a hospital receptionist job can be difficult. It's understandable to feel distress when you encounter irrational behavior.
For me, to cope with these kind of situations, I remember that other people don't understand that they're behaving badly. They are like children who don't know any better. And I remind myself that I can't expect people to behave the way I want them to behave. I can't control how other people behave. But how *I* behave is under my control. If I think, "These people are so rude and ungrateful! I can't believe it!", then it will cause me distress. But I feel much less distress if I change how I think and if I think more objectively. For example, I might think, "Yes, these people are being rude, but this is just normal and it happens sometimes. No matter how they behave, I want to do my best to help them because they are human beings who are suffering."

I used to work as a receptionist at a medical institute too! I am introverted and don't like people. Patients are the worst!! The doctors aren't much better either! Hang in there!
Well written! All very minor corrects. I think I would suggest to try keeping your tenses more consistent.

"Different" is an adjective. It doesn't really work for starting a sentence.
Judging from their expressions or behaviors, we've always cared about their conditions and tried to be empathetic towith them.
We just wanted to say, "Good for you" when they recovered.
It's better to use simple present tense rather than past, because it is something you always want to do.
