I recently had a bad fall while climbing and injured my knee, being unable to walk and in quite a lot of pain. My husband had to drive me to ED (Emergency Department). When I arrived I was put in a wheelchair and was signed in by a very friendly member of staff at the reception area. The wait wasn’t too long in ED as it was only about 45 minutes I was taken into minor injuries.
The nurse in the minor injuries unit was kind and caring, as well as thorough and helpful. I was then taken through to radiology for an X-Ray, where the radiologist was professional and pleasant. I was told that I would have to go into surgery as I had injured my leg pretty badly.
The staff in theatre were so compassionate and very accommodating as this was my first ever surgery and I was very nervous but they were able to support me and reassure me.
The surgery went very well and I hope to be out in the next couple of days
