I attended The MIU after falling and hurting my wrist. I was seen by a lovely nurse called Ann who made me comfortable she also had a great sense of humour. She arranged an X-Ray and I was given a splint and advice about it. Two days later I got a phone call from The Perth virtual fracture clinic where a nurse gave me more advice this was followed up with a letter and a printed leaflet on exercises.
Very Happy - all done and dusted in an hour.

Hello casinghq78,
Thank you for taking the time to post your story on Care Opinion. The feedback we get helps us review and improve our service so is very much appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear that you fell and hurt your wrist, I hope it is healing well and not giving you too much pain. It is lovely to hear that your experience was good and you were made comfortable. Being in pain is not pleasant so hopefully Ann's sense of humour cheered you up. It is also nice to hear your follow up with the fracture clinic was prompt and informative.
I will make sure to pass on your comments to the staff involved.
