Dismissive doctor turns health concerns into nightmare

I visited the medical practice yesterday evening around 7pm, grappling with severe back pain that has plagued me for approximately 5 years. My hope was to gain some understanding of my condition. Instead, I was dismissively told that if my pain was truly serious, I would be gasping and unable to walk. I'm a physically fit young man, and my blood tests from three years ago were normal - it's almost comical. I was made to feel like a liar or an inconvenience. The doctor questioned why I hadn't raised these concerns with my previous physicians in Birmingham. When I attempted to leave, she actually blocked the doorway! Not a single relevant question was asked. My family history includes a father with a curved spine, a predisposition to thrombosis and arthritis, and I was previously hit by a car - all potential contributing factors. But apparently, because I 'look' fit, there's no cause for concern. Despite struggling to breathe, sleep, walk, and experiencing pain even when sitting, I was completely disregarded. An absolute mockery of medical care. To make matters worse, as I tried to discuss my concerns while leaving, she callously shut the door in my face. STEER CLEAR OF THIS MEDICAL PRACTICE.
