Worst medical service ever terrible reception nightmare

Absolutely dreadful experience! Attempting to schedule an appointment was a nightmare - couldn't connect, and when I finally did, the receptionist was dismissive and refused to help. I was forced to contact 111, who highlighted that a year-long health issue is unacceptable and advised me to follow up. Upon calling back, I was met with the same rudeness. They insist you must call at 8:30 am, knowing full well it's impossible to get through. Another call resulted in the same hostile attitude when I simply asked a question. I'm bewildered by the practice of hiring such discourteous receptionists who should be thoroughly embarrassed by their treatment of patients. While I understand the NHS is struggling, the complete lack of compassion when people are seeking medical help is appalling. In a time when delayed treatment could be life-threatening, their callous approach is morally reprehensible. Only one receptionist in Epping demonstrates genuine kindness; the rest are simply nasty. The GPs should be supporting other NHS services instead of creating additional barriers. This is what we pay national insurance for, yet we're treated as if we're making an unreasonable request. The entire system feels like it's failing patients completely.
