Grandma's Urgent Appointment Nightmare

I tried scheduling an appointment for my elderly grandmother this morning, and while they initially booked the slot, the doctor unexpectedly called in sick. My grandmother urgently requires medical attention and her necessary medication. The staff promised to contact us by 3pm, but when I followed up, they pushed the callback to 4pm. After waiting on hold for another half hour around 5pm, I explained our urgent situation as the pharmacy was about to close. The receptionist rudely hung up on me mid-conversation. Now I'm eighth in the phone queue! Their service is absolutely appalling - I cannot comprehend how this healthcare provider remains operational. The reception staff's unprofessional behavior is completely unacceptable, and their medical standards are deplorable. I am thoroughly disgusted by their conduct and will definitely be filing a formal complaint with the General Medical Council. The NHS should be ashamed of allowing such a substandard medical facility to continue operating.
