Reception dismissive when raising health concerns

I attended an appointment regarding joint discomfort in my lower limbs. The clinician became visibly upset and spoke in a raised voice, suggesting that there were more serious health conditions affecting other patients and questioning why I was seeking help for my concern. I found this response inappropriate and upsetting. I wonder if this reaction was influenced by knowledge of a previous complaint I had made, and whether the clinician felt I was making unnecessary use of NHS services. As someone with strong personal values, I felt my character was being unfairly questioned. The clinician also made a comment implying I believed I had greater medical knowledge than them, which was not something I had suggested. I felt this was an unfair characterisation and resented the implication that professional qualifications gave them the right to dismiss my perspective.
