"Communication"

About: Royal United Hospital

Waited patiently for over three hours with 13 year old who had hurt himself. Nurse eventually arrived after quite some time and said 'Oh, I thought someone had taken you to x-ray'. Following the x-ray the same nurse failed to inform me that the x-ray had shown no damage. I had to ask when I saw her administering a band aid plaster to the wound. Totally unsatisfactory. Communication with parents is crucial.
