Yes! My IC (and most others) even says on his voicemail,"If this is an emergency for you, first state the nature of the emergency and then call (private cell#)"

Go to the Police. First go to a battered/etc. Women's Service. They know the ropes and procedures and will guide you (and probably accompany you) through it.

Unless you are a client that your IC knows tends to cry Wolf and exaggerate (which you are not), it makes no difference. You know what constitutes an emergency for you. Keep calling, keep insisting. Give that receptionist a piece of your mind and a bit of Hell! Go to her office unannounced if you have to. You are her client/customer. You pay her. Demand response!
Repeat: Go to the Police. First go to a battered/etc. Women's Service.
