191 calls for a simple booking

I'm awarding just 1 star because booking an appointment is practically impossible, requiring 191 attempts this morning just to connect. The receptionist was so irritated that she snapped at me, saying verbatim: "You don't need to tell me about 191 calls, we're extremely busy." To make matters worse, when I explained this was an emergency, I was dismissively told to go to the hospital. After persistent pleading, I was only promised a GP callback after 12 midday, who eventually rang at 18:06 this evening - and naturally, we missed the call. I have absolutely no complaints about the actual doctors - Dr Kumar is incredibly professional and knowledgeable - but their booking system is undoubtedly the worst in the UK and could be easily improved by modifying their appointment scheduling approach. Additionally, they desperately need to train their reception staff to be compassionate and courteous to callers. We're not booking a restaurant table; we're reaching out because we're suffering and unwell!
