"Childrens broken elbow"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital

Anything else?

The nursing staff were amazing throughout, my issue is with the consultant and the fact that on the eveing of August 7th 2013 they left my young son for 6 hours while trying to locate the consultant to make a decision on surgery or not..... Decided to admit him next morning for review about operation and was told NIL by mouth and prep'd for surgery, but after a 2 minute consultation with the surgeon he sent my son for a CT scan... after a further 6 hours wait and us complaining of waiting the nurses finally got us an answer and sent us home for a review in a few days time... digusting lack of respect for us or our young son, the consultant did not even come back and explain anything to us. We have waited now a total of 15 hrs over 2 days to see wait for a consultant to look at his xray and decide on an operation or not...
