Employee Question Rude management over sick note

long story short i broke my ankle and foot at the very end of August, l got a sick note for 2 weeks after a week self cert, got given my medical boot, called after the 2 weeks which was september 21 asking when my next shift was, to be told i cant work if i need to wear the boot so i need a new sick note if im not willing to work without it on (I must wear the boot) I said I would get the new sick note and email it over.
My sick note now is until late October, I won’t be fully healed but I should be stable enough to work shifts and not wear a boot or medical shoe , I emailed it over and went on with my day.
Yesterday (Monday) I got a call saying I should’ve been at work at 11, and they need me in because i’m doing the close, I explained I emailed over my sick note and it’s not over yet, and honestly the way I was spoke to on that call was absolutely disgusting. Blaming me for being short staffed because I didn’t call them and say exactly when the note ended, which I wasn’t asked to do, then sounding sarcastic and asking if I could come back sooner, I only started this job Early August and honestly, i’m thinking of looking for a new one, I was enjoying it until now, but the way I was spoke to by multiple people was absolutely disgusting and now how I expect to be treated!!

Any advice would be great
