I had a bad fall, which resulted in a 3cm tear in my foot and a broken toe. The tear was very deep and quickly became infected. I was initially seen at Vale of Leven Hospital in the fracture unit and had a five-hour wait to be seen because of some system issue for which staff apologised.
After that first day, staff loked after me amazingly well for several weeks, changing my bandage and re-treating the tear twice per week,
The nurses were lovely, kind and helpful, actually treating me early in the day before my formal appointment times with a doctor popping in as well - again outwith my appointment time - once per week as well to check up on progress and advise on ongoing treatment. So the most I stayed there was 30 minutes, including treatment, which was really great.
I am incredibly grateful to Anne and Brenda in particular for their kindness.
