Unprofessional doctor dismisses serious medical concerns

I rarely attempt to secure a medical appointment due to typical unavailability, and we typically only seek medical care when antibiotics are necessary. Yesterday, against my instincts, I tried booking an appointment to avoid taking all my children to the hospital walk-in, and surprisingly, I got a slot a few hours later. I met a male Doctor (whose name starts with M) who was running 15 minutes behind schedule, which wasn't an issue. He examined my son and suggested a potential chest infection. Concerned about his previous medical history, I inquired about his vital signs, referencing his near-fatal 2020 Sepsis incident from a misdiagnosed burst appendix. The Doctor responded, 'Kindly stop mentioning the sepsis, as it occurred in 2020 and is irrelevant.' From my perspective, the reference was entirely pertinent, and his response was inappropriate, given my genuine worry about my son's skin color, breathing, and energy levels. When I asked about his weight—considering his previous severe underweight condition—the Doctor abruptly stated he had no time due to other patients and suggested making another appointment. When I mentioned contacting his dietician, the Doctor contradicted himself, saying I should consult a Doctor first. Utterly bewildered, I left the practice. Neither myself nor my seven children will ever return—I'd sooner wait eight hours at Russell Hall!
