Being trodden on by a horse!

Posted By Fi fie fo fum

"Being trodden on by a horse!"

About: East Surrey Hospital / Accident and emergency Queen Victoria Hospital (East Grinstead) / Maxillo-Facial surgery

(as the patient),

I was riding in the woods the horse bucked and I ended up under him getting my face trodden on.

I went straight to the Queen Vic hospital who referred me to East Surrey. I waited 6 hours for a scan, the hospital was very busy. My care was not good, the Dr forgot to tell the Queen Vic I was coming back. I had 4 holes in my mouth that needed stitching they where about to close when I arrived, but found a maxiofacial Dr and did a great job. What a difference between the two hospitals!

I had fantastic treatment from the Queen Vic. But the waiting time and communication at East Surrey could be improved.

Dear Fi fie fo fum,

I am sorry to hear that you felt your treatment was not of the standard you would have liked or that I, as Head of the Emergency Department, would have expected.

If you would be kind enough to contact either me (julian.webb@sash.nhs.uk), or matron Jackie Thompson (jackie.thompson@sash.nhs.uk), we will look into the issues you have raised to see what went wrong. We can then respond to you and pass on any lessons learnt to staff, to minimise this happening again.

Kind regards,

Julian Webb

Head of the Emergency Department
