"Sprain or broken ankle"

About: St James's University Hospital

Misdiagnosed with a sprained ankle, walked on it for 8 days before going back to A&E only find out that it was broken in 2 places! Doctors were very dismissive and made to feel that I was making up my injury. To top it off I have to wait 5 days until a full cast is put on, with 2 small children and due to go on holiday next week, to I am unhappy, does not really convey the way I am feeling,
