The hospital and staff were insanely efficient

Posted By RAC14

"The hospital and staff were insanely efficient"

About: Royal Hospital for Children (Glasgow) / Plaster Room

(as the patient),

I went to the hospital at stobhill and I got an xray on my wrist, after I found out it was fractured.

Then I was referred to the royal hospital for children where I got a plaster cast on. It was slightly emotional but apart from that it was fun getting my first cast and it was euphoric when I got it back off and my arm got itched and cleaned.

Overall I absolutely loved the experience and the hospital and staff were insanely efficient and lovely to me on each visit. Both of which were under an hour each visit.

Hello RAC14,

Wow – what an amazing piece of feedback! It sounds like you handled everything like a pro, even when things got a bit emotional. Getting your first cast can definitely feel like a big moment, so I’m glad our team made it a positive experience for you.

I love that you described it as euphoric when the cast came off – that’s such a great way to put it! Our staff will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated their efficiency and kindness. We always aim to make visits as smooth and stress-free as possible, so hearing that both appointments were under an hour is fantastic.

Thank you for taking the time to share this – it really means a lot to us. Wishing you all the best as you get back to doing the things you love with your wrist fully healed! 🙌

Take care,
Mhairi Stirrat
