My partner came in following doing the west highland way with feelings of ligament damage to ankles and/or feet. Although taken quickly, the nurse did not even look at his foot/request to take his shoes or socks off/did not feel/move his feet. My partner was challenged by the nurse who asked “what do you want me to do about it” and was told to “just take paracetamol”.
As a nurse myself, I find this highly unprofessional, un compassionate and terrible service. I do hope no one else is treated in this manner.
I understand myself how challenging work can be, especially in these circumstances, however I find this unacceptable and the nurse in question needs to be challenged about this.
