"Made to feel like I was being awkward"

About: The Stackyard Surgery

(as a service user),

Rang for an appointment for an injury. Receptionist asked when it occurred (2 days before), then replied by asking me if I didn't think to go to A&E at the time?

Not too sure where to start on this one. Maybe with not clogging up A&E for a non emergency? Not too sure it's their place to pass judgement on my decision either.

Not the manner I was expecting at any rate!

Was also made to feel (by both the receptionist and the doctor who rang back) like I was being awkward when I said I couldn't just come in to be looked at today due to work. I can't just drop everything but apparently that means I'm being difficult and demanding. Maybe I should just go and clog up A&E instead?
