Frustrating healthcare experience with unhelpful staff

This morning, I endured a lengthy 30-minute phone wait before reaching the surgery's reception. When I requested an appointment, I was interrogated about my medical condition and whether I had visited a pharmacy. I explained to the secretary that pharmacy access was impossible and I'd been attempting home treatments. Clearly having a difficult day, she grilled me about my home remedies, making it evident she considered my condition insufficiently serious to warrant a doctor's consultation. An afternoon appointment was offered, which seemed acceptable. However, within an hour, I received a cancellation message, leaving me feeling dismissed and frustrated. Upon calling back, a different staff member claimed ignorance of any cancellations. Curiously, the original staff member then informed me the doctor had cut his surgery short, forcing me to wait until Monday. It appears some employees become overly presumptuous in their professional roles.
