I think you should call the front desk and explain the situation. I obviously don't live in Australia, but in the U.S. at least, doctors have a responsibility to their patients. I don't know why he couldn't just reschedule you to an appt slot at the end of the day, after all of his other appts. For example, if he works from 9am until 5pm everyday and he cancelled your 10 min appt, I don't see why he can't just work from 9am until 5:10pm (for example). It's all online, so it's not that difficult. But that's just my opinion.

Sorry this happened though. That sounds super frustrating. My previous pdoc once had an emergency, so he scheduled for first thing the next morning, before all of his other appts.
Thanks. It was my pdoc who cancelled. The receptionist said he couldn’t fit me in. I didn’t press the point though and say I was in crisis because I was so annoyed I didn’t want to talk to him. I know if I called and said I was in crisis he would squeeze me in. As it is I feel a bit better this morning so far so I can wait until next week. I have meds I can use to deal with my symptoms should they get worse again.
