machine accident on little finger on right hand

Posted By Lucky Jack

"machine accident on little finger on right hand"

About: Omagh Primary Care Complex / Urgent Care and Treatment Centre

(as the patient),

When I arrived for treatment in the treatment room, Nurse Holt, was extremely reassuring, caring and professional. 

I caught my finger in a machine, lifting the skin on the top and bottom of my finger wide open. The procedure required seventeen stitches - 10 on top and seven on the underside of the finger. It was not easy for Nurse Holt, but she persevered, doing a fantastic job.

The knuckle also had a small fracture.

Nurse Darragh bandaged the wound. I was very fortunate both were on duty today at the Omagh hospital minor injuries unit.

Thanks to both for their care and laughter, making the painful procedure that much easier.
