"fractured thumb"

About: Leicester Royal Infirmary

I am disgusted by the a&e department made me feel like I was putting it on . And sent me home , I then went back to my doctors the following week and he looked at my x ray and said my thumb was fractured so how could a &e miss this . I have now got a splint on my thumb do not know how long I have to keep it on and rang fracture clinic today for them to tell me my appointment is in 3 weeks time . So in the meanwhile I cannot go to work as I need full use of both my hands . I am disgusted with the way I was treated .
