Unprofessional doctor dismisses patient's serious medical concern

I reached out to Abbey Medical Practice today regarding severe abdominal pain that was seriously concerning me, and the on-call physician, Dr Perkins, was incredibly dismissive. He responded by asking 'what do you want me to do, there's nothing I can do' in a completely unhelpful manner. I was genuinely distressed, barely able to move this morning, yet he became argumentative and loudly proclaimed 'I don't need to see you'. Only after my mother intervened and suggested reporting him did he suddenly change his tone and offer to see me? This was an absolutely terrible encounter that left me feeling vulnerable and upset. Why must patients have to fight and argue just to receive basic medical attention? Medical professionals should be focused on helping people, not making them feel belittled and unimportant.
