Reception didn't listen to my availability needs

I experienced chest pain and attended A&E, where I felt the assessment was inadequate and I received no medication or treatment. Following this, I arranged appointments at my local GP practice regarding my chest pain symptoms. I requested blood tests to investigate further. After scheduling the blood work, I received notification that the sample collected was insufficient and I would need to attend again for another appointment. The results indicated an elevated inflammatory marker, and I was advised to book a follow-up consultation. At the subsequent appointment, the clinician recommended repeating the initial blood test along with an additional one. I attended for the blood work and experienced a lengthy wait at reception. The following morning, I was informed that the repeat test had not been processed due to an unforeseen technical issue. When I contacted the practice to arrange further appointments, I found the scheduling process inflexible and not accommodating to my personal circumstances. Having already taken three days off work for the various blood test appointments, I attempted to communicate my availability constraints to reception staff. I felt my concerns were not fully heard, and I was subsequently offered an appointment that conflicted with my work commitments.
