Why did my father dismiss my concerns of having a high fever? 

I remember the time when I had a high fever in the middle of the night. I was sick for a few days prior to that, and I was almost recovering, but my condition worsened overnight. I told my father about it, and he asked me where can he find a doctor in the middle of the night. He then lectured me on how I didn't take care of my body, which was why my condition worsened. I got tired of listening to it, so I went back to sleep. But I couldn't sleep, and my temperature rose and I got so scared. Ironically I knew my dad wouldn't care anyway, but I still felt I had to tell him about it. So I did, and he was like "It's okay, go back to sleep". 

I cried out instinctively, and he told me not to cry. I knew not to trust him, so I went back to my room and started calling numbers, I called classmates, people I knew in CCAs, primary school friends, secondary school friends, finally I called teachers. Finally, a teacher picked up the phone and consoled me over the phone. For a few days, I cried whenever thinking about it. But now, I don't know whether I was over-reacting to my high fever. Yesterday I got a high fever, and instead of waiting for my dad to take me to the doctor's in the afternoon, I went to the doctor with my sis (who was sick as well) to the doctor's once the clinic opened. And I wonder, was I over-reacting?
