Dismissive Nurse Made Me Feel Worse

I was extremely unwell, bedridden and experiencing severe dizziness and weakness along with chills and vertigo. I reached out to my general practitioner seeking medical assistance, and they said someone would call me back. When the call came, I inquired about a potential visit, but the woman on the phone dismissively suggested I should be able to walk because I'm "young and fit". I found her response incredibly offensive and insensitive. Clearly, the fact that I was calling indicated I was far from well, and her condescending attitude made me feel invalidated and belittled. It seemed she was implying I had no right to request help or that my symptoms weren't genuine. Healthcare professionals should be much more compassionate and understanding, taking patients' concerns seriously instead of making judgmental remarks. Such an approach demonstrates a complete lack of empathy and professionalism, and individuals with this attitude should not be working in healthcare.
