Arrived at 7.10 on Sunday.
Called to see nurse at 7.30! Really sweet gentle nurse who took my homemade bandage off carefully.
Asked me about when and how I did it. Checked no tendon damage or nerve damage. Carefully redressed the wound with advice about how to keep it clean and dry. Warned me about signs of infection/sepsis and stressed the need to seek help immediately if in any doubt!
Did not patronise or treat me like an idiot or comment on causing such a nasty injury to myself! lLeft feeling so much better! My thumb wrapped in a bandage so I could no longer flex it too much and keep re-opening the cuts. Would recommend this place to everyone! Many thanks for the professional and kind treatment.
"Deep slash to my thumb!"
