Rude gp dismisses patient's genuine health concerns

I visited the doctor for my child's appointment and inquired about a helicobacter pylori test, as I suspect I have it and was unsure if my GP could perform it. The doctor immediately stated that the NHS is a free service and refused to test me solely based on my symptoms, suggesting I simply take Omeprazole instead. I explained that I had already undergone two antibiotic treatments, with the first being ineffective and the second leaving me with persistent stomach pain. His response was dismissive, declaring, "Let's end this because I don't want to waste time and I don't care about what you were told in your country - this is the UK and the NHS." To this doctor, I want to make something clear: firstly, I work 12-hour shifts and pay taxes, so I believe I'm entitled to "free" healthcare. Secondly, if you're unwilling to spend time with foreigners who have medical histories from their home countries, perhaps you should hang a sign saying "NO FOREIGNERS" on your door. This is my first encounter with a GP in this city, and I'm thoroughly disappointed by the rude attitude of this particular "doctor" who seems annoyed by patient concerns. It's because of such "doctors" who view themselves as infallible that people in this country might not receive proper treatment or, worse, could be suffering from undiagnosed serious illnesses.
