Painful shoulder and rude receptionist

If I could, I'd rate this zero stars 😒. My experience echoes others - booking an appointment is impossible, with the earliest slot two weeks out (dealing with a painful shoulder injury, I'd already visited emergency over the weekend as I couldn't see a GP, and the hospital directed me back to my practice). During today's call (Wednesday), I explained my ongoing shoulder problem, still relying on painkillers, acknowledging the futility of same-day or next-day appointments, having attempted booking on Friday, Feb 21st before slots vanished at 8:06. The receptionist accused me of fabricating my story. When I stated I'd been on the phone from 8:00 to 9:00 and could prove it, she insisted I was lying. My concern: why register so many patients when they can't possibly serve them, effectively turning away more than half? Countless patients are forced to seek emergency care, visit walk-in clinics, or receive no medical attention at all. Such a practice is dangerously negligent. I'm definitely switching GP practices - there's no point remaining registered where seeing a doctor is practically impossible. Ironically, they continue sending me monthly invitations for various tests like blood work and heart screenings.
