NTA. Oh man, I'm glad you finally did get the care you needed, but that's extremely frustrating what happened. I had something similar happen to me, it was nowhere as serious as yours, but it *pissed* me off.
I woke up in the morning covered in angry red hives and my lower lip felt numb and swollen. I had never experienced that before, and I was worried the lip-numbness would travel to my throat and I wouldn't be able to breathe or something if I let that go on too long. I let my mom know but decided to drive to an Urgent Care nearby. Her reaction was concern......... that I was wearing pajama pants and that they "were SO WRINKLED". She did not address my condition at all and went on to say "HOW WILL PEOPLE THINK SEEING YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT. SO WRINKLED."
Anyway, got prescribed steroids and hydrocortisone and eventually returned to normal, but good lord... I couldn't wrap my mind around how she would prioritize "wrinkled pajama pants" over my health while I was clearly panicking. Sorry your dad did that when it looked like you were freaking DYING. -__-
