My partner had a particularly nasty fall in our back garden. He is 81 years old and,as with many older people, very thin skin. The resulting injury was pretty horrific, he had ripped his arm open from his knuckles, all the way up his forearm to his elbow. Obviously this necessitated an emergency dash to the minor injury unit at Queen Margaret's in Dunfermline and a subsequent plastic surgery assessment at Ninewells hospital in Dundee two days later. We now have weekly visits back to the plastic surgery team at Queen Margaret's in Dunfermline who have been an amazing trio of nurses, treating my partner with kindness, sympathy and efficiency. They are happy to listen to his many stories whilst they work away on his new dressing and handle him with patience and care trying their hardest to make the renewed dressings as comfortable as possible for him. They really are the stars representing exactly what the NHS stand for and we can't rate them highly enough.
