Follow up to foot fracture

Posted By eridanusgf73

"Follow up to foot fracture"

About: Ayrshire Central Hospital / X-rays & Scans

(as the patient),

I got an appointment for a dexascan following what turned out to be a fracture.  Dexascan checks bone density and anyone over 50 who has a fracture is called for this.  I didn't know that but think its good.

I found it easy to get to Ayrshire Central Hospital by public transport from my home.  I had received a form with my appointment which I handed to the nurse who took me for the scan.

I was then seen by a doctor who had seen the scan and who told me my bone density was looking better than the last scan I had.  They explained everything, answered all my questions and told me to continue taking the vitamins and medication (alendronic acid) I had been taking.

It was good not having to wait for my results through my GP and I feel good knowing my bone density has improved.

I wanted to let staff know how pleased I am.

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.
