Would it be unreasonable/rude/potentially even discrimination for me to request a different doctor to handle my phone appointments because I can't understand their accent?

In the UK we have a shortage of face to face appointments, I'm currently very pregnant and have had many of my appointments be over the phone. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

This morning I had an appointment with a doctor who has the thickest accent I have ever heard. She also put me on loud speaker so she could listen to me and type at the same time.

I had to ask for things to be repeated constantly. When I got to the third time asking, I'd feel very guilty and just say yes or no still without understanding.

I am thankful for talented doctors choosing to come to the UK to work, foreign medical professionals make up a huge portion of NHS staff. But this has been a reoccuring thing I've experienced, and I now dread every appointment. I strain to understand and worry I'm saying yes or no to important things just because I'm too worried about being rude or discriminating.

I myself have an immigrant parent so please don't think I am being xenophobic.

Interested to hear people's thoughts. Thanks.
