Early arrival didn't prevent confusing appointment mix-up

I arrived at the medical centre at 6:30 am to secure an appointment due to experiencing significant pain. Upon opening at 7 am, I was given an appointment slot for 8:40 am and completed my registration. After waiting approximately 40 minutes, I approached the reception desk to inquire about the status of my appointment. The staff member was unable to provide me with clear information, so I requested to speak with a manager. The manager informed me that I had been placed in an emergency appointment slot, which came as a surprise. When I asked why this had occurred, I was told there had been an error during the booking process. I then asked when I would be seen, as I had other commitments that day. The manager appeared unable to provide a definitive answer and suggested I would need to wait until a clinician became available. I expressed my frustration about the situation and indicated I would be making a complaint. The manager's response felt dismissive. When I requested the manager's name, she initially declined to provide it, only doing so after I stated that she was obliged to share this information. I felt that the interaction lacked professionalism and empathy, and I was disappointed by what I perceived as an unhelpful and dismissive attitude during a time when I was in discomfort and distress.
