I originally injured my finger in August and went to A&E after a call to NHS 24. After xray i was advised i had a minor break but that it would be fine.
Visiting my GP a couple of weeks later i commented my finger now seemed to be more disfigured. I was really impressed he got me a slot at A&E later that day. I was a bit disappointed that the staff who saw me then seemed to think that the kink in my finger was a result of the soft tissue contraction that could have been prevented when i first went to A&E.
I got great service over the next few weeks. Unfortunately this has not been able to rectify the damage. A kinked finger is not a big deal and the staff member I saw was great but perhaps the original doctor might learn.
