Long phone waits and dismissive reception staff

The reception team's approach left much to be desired, with what felt like dismissive attitudes throughout my experience. I waited on the phone for an extended period only to be told that available appointments were several weeks away, despite being in immediate discomfort. When I requested assistance, there seemed to be little willingness to explore alternative options. It's frustrating that reception staff at medical practices sometimes come across as though they believe they're more important than they are. A desk job doesn't warrant the kind of tone I encountered. When I spoke with a manager on the phone, I felt they were unable to offer meaningful support beyond arranging a blood test. I was advised to discontinue my medication ahead of this test, which concerned me greatly as stopping medication without proper guidance isn't appropriate. The manager's response suggested a lack of understanding about what it means to be managing a health condition, and this left me feeling unsupported during what was already a difficult time.
