(as the patient),

I recently had a nasty fall on ice and seriously hurt my right leg (Calf/knee/hamstrings). In the morning I was still in agony so attended the minor injuries unit at my local hospital, Whitehills Health Care Centre.

The service I received was 100% 

The nurse on the shift was friendly, reassuring and thorough. She called Orthopaedics at Ninewells as the knee was badly swollen and she wanted it X-Rayed.

I went to Ninewells, as arranged by the nurse and was seen in A&E and radiography promptly (every member of staff were so efficient) 

Well done NHS !

Hello Logie,

Thank you for taking the time to pass on your excellent feedback. It is really helpful to know when we have made a positive impact, and I will pass this on to the team in Radiology.

I hope your injury wasn't too severe and that you are on the mend now.

Thanks

Euan
