"Dislocated hand"

About: The Ulster Hospital / Day Procedure Unit The Ulster Hospital / Emergency Department The Ulster Hospital / Fracture Clinic

(as the patient),

Tripped and fell.  Dislocated metatarsal bones on left hand.   Went to the minor injuries in Ulster hospital.  Didn’t have long to wait for x-ray.  Was treated very well.  Had to have operation on my hand which happened few days later.  

My treatment by the anaesthetist and surgeon was second to none.  They were both very caring and discussed what would happen during the operation which made me feel relaxed and comfortable.  

The follow up appointments at the fracture clinic were always on time and the staff were very friendly and also explained what they were going to do.  Once again at the hand therapy clinic the lady was very professional and friendly and took her time giving me treatment.  My recovery is good.

Many thanks to everyone concerned.
