Rude receptionist ruined my call today

I contacted Western Elms surgery this afternoon following an NHS 111 referral. Initially, the receptionist was incredibly pleasant and supportive, but unfortunately, our call was disconnected. When I rang back, I encountered a completely different experience with another staff member who was exceptionally unhelpful and dismissive. Despite the referral being sent, she flatly refused to assist me and abruptly ended the call. She even went out of her way to clearly spell her name when I requested it, but her attitude was shockingly unprofessional. Her rudeness was overwhelming, and she showed zero empathy or willingness to help. Healthcare professionals should understand that patients seek support during vulnerable moments, not additional stress. It's unacceptable to treat patients as emotional punching bags simply because you're having a difficult day. We are human beings with feelings, and we deserve respect and compassion, especially when seeking medical assistance.
