"A&E"

About: Addenbrooke's Hospital

I've possibly broken my wrist after an accident at work, so made my way to A&e. It was fairly busy but I did get processed quickly and I saw a nurse within about 1hr 30. Was given painkillers and told to wait so I did. I went to use the toilet and it was disgusting it was blocked and guessing it hadn't been cleaned for some time. I saw a Dr had X-rays they couldn't see if it was broken because of the swelling so told I would have to have a follow up appointment in 10 days for more X-Rays. I have still not received this appointment 14 days later. So have now got to go to the Drs to get referred for X-rays to find out if it's broken.
