(as the patient),

I fell causing head, face, shoulder and wrist injuries

The Lincoln County emergency care was good . I was seen eventually by a doctor and nurse. 

I was not examined 

I was asked where the pain was and said 

Head shoulder area 

I had a Ct scan for my head and a hand  and shoulder pain x ray . 

I returned to the waiting area and was seen by the consultant/doctor

I said that my wrist was looking odd and they sent me for further xray

I then had a half slab added to my right hand

I was called back after four days to have a full slab

This was too tight so I had another slab put on

Eventually I had the cast taken off at Grantham hospital and was discharged with an exercise leaflet and assured that everything with my had and wrist  would be fine and to act normally 

I was concerned that I would not be able to use my fingers properly
