I visited the Minor Injuries Unit on Tuesday 4th August after having had a fall which resulted in a very painful arm. I did not have long to wait before I was assessed by a very friendly efficient member of staff who then sent me for X-rays. Again I did not have to wait long before I was x-rayed and sent to wait for the results. After a short wait I was seen by the original staff member who showed me my x-rays and explained that a fracture was causing the pain. They also explained what could be done about it and I was fitted with a sling (which has made me much more comfortable) and I was offered some painkillers. I was then sent to see a nice friendly receptionist who made me an appointment for the Fracture Clinic in a couple of weeks for a follow-up assessment. I think the treatment I received from all the members of staff could not be bettered and I am very grateful to them all and also very glad that I live near to such a caring hospital.
"fast efficient treatment"
