Rushed through appointment with dismissive attitude

Not the first disappointing experience I have encountered at this practice. I called this morning to request an appointment and was able to secure one without difficulty. Upon arrival, I was seen by a nurse practitioner rather than a GP, which was acceptable. However, I had mentioned multiple health concerns when booking the appointment. The practitioner addressed my first concern adequately, but when I raised a second issue, I was told that only one appointment slot was available and there were other patients waiting. I explained that I had outlined my concerns during the booking call so that notes could be added to my appointment record. The response was that there was only one appointment slot and other patients needed to be seen, asking what the specific issue was. At this point, I decided not to pursue the matter further and left the room. The interaction felt rushed and dismissive, which was particularly difficult given my anxiety difficulties. I left feeling upset, as standing up for myself does not come naturally to me. The entire appointment lasted approximately five minutes.
