Treatment of minor facial damage after a fall

"Treatment of minor facial damage after a fall"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance

(as a service user),

I tripped and fell in a restaurant. My head hit against a table and my face was cut, with resulting bleeding, and the restaurant phoned for an Ambulance. A Motorbike Paramedic arrived within a very few minutes.

I want to say that the treatment and care which I received on site was superb. After the wound was dressed and I had been given appropriate advice in a most sympathetic way, I was able to continue my days activities without a visit to A&E

Very efficient! Thank you..

Dear springfield86

Thank you so much for sharing your experience on Care Opinion. I was pleased to read that our Paramedic was able to treat your injuries, provide you with advice and then allow you to carry on with your day.

I would really like to pass your thanks onto the Paramedic who cared for you but would need some more information to allow me to do this. If you are able to provide some more information you can contact me on 0131 314 0003 or at martinesposito@nhs.net

I do hope you are recovering well.

Take care

Martin.
