Reception dismissive during urgent pregnancy concern

I am in the early stages of pregnancy and experienced some bleeding today. I contacted the surgery to request a referral to the early pregnancy assessment service, as I was informed they require a referral before they can see me. When I called, the receptionist's manner felt dismissive and lacked empathy while I was distressed. She indicated that she had spoken with a clinician who would call me back to gather additional information before proceeding. I found this approach frustrating, particularly as I have already confirmed my pregnancy through multiple tests. To make matters worse, I was told a clinician would contact me by 5:30pm, but this call never came. I have spent the evening at home feeling anxious about my situation while feeling that the practice has not prioritised my concerns adequately. I am disappointed with the level of care and responsiveness I have received from this surgery. I previously attended a different practice in another area which I felt provided more attentive and compassionate care. I am frustrated that despite being a working taxpayer, I have not received the standard of service I would expect during what is a worrying time.
