Left feeling worse, exhausted and frustrated

"Left feeling worse, exhausted and frustrated"

I visited a prearranged appointed a few weeks ago and asked for help as was feeling extremely ill (probably should have made an emergency appointment but struggled for a couple of weeks). I was not happy with the treatment from the doctor who wasn't empathetic in the least... "What do you want me to do" was the constant reply. No notes where written at the time of the appointment, today I have recieved a copy of a letter sent to my gp and the paragraph explaining what was discussed they got my name completely wrong. Missed things out of asked. I'm so uncomfortable with the care I'm not sure where to turn and feel more alone and scared than before attending.

Not only how they left you feeling but also the factor of getting your name wrong on the letter and missing things off that were important for you to have written in for your GP.
