Frustrating medical service with unhelpful reception

I called at 8 this morning and was 20th in line, finally speaking to a receptionist who took my personal details for an evening appointment. When I explained my ongoing knee issue of the past month and walking difficulties, I was directed to the physiotherapist at princes of wales hospital, told to walk in without an appointment between 8:30 and 10. I mentioned my previous hospital visit where I received dismissive treatment, was advised to see my doctor, but still received an x-ray showing no bone issues. I suggested I might need an MRI to examine my cartilage, which the receptionist initially agreed with, but then claimed no appointments were available today - despite initially taking my details for a same-day appointment. When I requested a booking for tomorrow, I was told to call back in the morning, which I find completely unacceptable. Considering I was 20th in the queue and they have 5+ doctors, who typically spend just 20 minutes with each patient, this seems ridiculous. One star is frankly too generous. I'm actively seeking avenues to escalate this complaint and want it officially documented. If my condition worsens and I potentially require a walking stick due to their negligence, I will absolutely pursue legal action!!!
