accident to my hand

Story from nhs.uk

"accident to my hand"

About: Northern General Hospital / Accident and emergency

I went on the 27/12/15 after 3hrs I got seen in triage I then got rushed through to get my rings cut off that took over an hour for someone to come and deal with then I was told to go back to the waiting room I asked how long for they said it could take another 8hrs to be seen

I asked why as I had already been in triage and they then decided to have a look at the computer I was actually the 3rd patient on the list.

I got my hand examined of a doctor and got sent for an x ray . I came back after that and people were being shipped out to the walk in clinic next min I got taken in told that I had nerve damage in my elbow and gold paracetamol and sent home . I do not have any pain in my elbow and had not said my elbow hurt and it was not examined. I felt rushed out and I'm now preparing to go back up because I'm still in pain with my hand . Can't wait for today's experience
