Nightmare healthcare experience with zero patient support

Scheduling a doctor's appointment has become an impossible task. I was number 19 in the queue, only to discover at the front that I must now book online. The receptionist sent me a link, but the online form was suspended due to no available appointments. I'm certain I have tonsillitis and need penicillin, as this feels exactly like my illness in April 2018. To make matters worse, I'm responsible for caring for my nearly 90-year-old housebound mother with Alzheimer's. I've been sick for 11 days and feel absolutely terrible. The healthcare system is completely broken. UPDATE: 111 dispatched a doctor at 10pm. Diagnosed with Covid, a throat covered in pus, nausea, a 39-degree temperature, and chills. Prescribed antibiotics and anti-nausea medication. Two days later, the antibiotics had to be changed due to persistent vomiting. My daughter visited the surgery to explain the situation and show the prescribed tablets. She was coldly told that absolutely nothing is handled in person and everything must be done via phone. Consequently, she returned to her car and called from there. This approach is not just ridiculous but potentially dangerous medical practice.
