A broken wrist

Posted By Sillyoldartist

"A broken wrist"

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Accident & Emergency

(as the patient),

Fell on ice at 9pm, thought I was ok. In morning decided my wrist was looking a bit dodgy. Went to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow at 9am, was seen immediately, temperature checked, spoken to by nice physiotherapist called Fraser, sent for X-ray, Fraser told me I had a broken wrist, strapped on a splint and off I went. Out by 9.20am. 

Every staff member I met was delightful. Had taken a book with me to read as assumed I'd be there for hours. managed to read one sentence!!!

Thank you everyone who saw me. Happy 2012 to you all

Update posted by Sillyoldartist (the patient)

Awe, thank you for that.

The follow-up call telling me about my break was equally as good as my visit. The nurse was informative, helpful and good fun too. If I do as I have been told, all will be well soon!

Once again, big thank to you all at this crazy time.
