I attended the equivalent of A and E Saturday pm following a slip on snow resulting in immense pain and loss of mobility in left arm/shoulder area. The receptionist was so friendly, polite and sympathetic and quickly got me signed in to wait. I didn’t have to wait long, and the nurse seeing me was so lovely - even got me some painkillers won her own initiative before trying to remove my jumper. Quick assessment followed by x ray showed I had broken my upper arm. They checked whether it was safe for me to go home and once that was confirmed with a follow up appointment at orthopaedics on Monday placed arm in a special sling, given lots of specific advice and even some codeine for the pain! What a super friendly, efficient and professional team they were, I couldn’t have asked for better. Top marks all round! This crucial hospital really needs to stay for North Yorkshire, it’s vital. Please support our NHS as much as you can and treasure the wonderful people we have working there.
"Fantastic service"
