Had very nasty fall - slipped on wet floor - cracked shoulder & head on low table and then landed heavily on hand.
Fractured wrist was obvious so only that was dealt with.
Ignored shoulder pain & head bruising(temple & side of head). - only nurse on duty who was pleasant but no doctor to back them up. Currently having more x-rays to determine wrist and shoulder problems.
Also missed broken/fractured limb for member of our family plus 2 fractures missed for a friend - no doctor on duty - only nurse.
Dreadful that no doctor is available at this hospital which is a vital facility for this area. I am really pleased to be able to come to a local facility but MIU is letting people down because they are not supported by a doctor.
Gave up on your eye clinic as my urgent appointments were continually changed and put back by booking clerk without consulting the eye specialist - had 5 changed appointments in one week!!
Cannot fault radiology department - they were pleasant, helpful and efficient.
