Phone lines constantly engaged and dismissive responses

I called this morning to arrange an appointment for my partner. She is experiencing significant discomfort but is not someone who typically takes time away from work, which is why I was making the call on her behalf. I had to ring repeatedly before the engaged tone finally stopped and the line began to ring through. It then took another five minutes for someone to answer. The receptionist informed me that no appointments were available for two weeks. When I explained the situation was urgent, I was told that if my partner were seriously unwell, she would not have gone to work. Frustrated by this response, I requested to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor was equally unhelpful and could only suggest that my partner call on the morning of her preferred day to be placed on a triage list, with the duty clinician then deciding whether to see her that same day. I attend a different practice myself and have never encountered such an unwelcoming attitude or such poor service standards. I found this surgery's approach disappointing across all aspects.
