My Visit to causualty after falling from my horse

"My Visit to causualty after falling from my horse"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

I attended casualty after falling from my horse. I was in a lot of pain and struggling to breath normally. I had an xray and was told nothing was broken.

Today 2 weeks later I have had a call from a consultant at the hospital to say three of my ribs are cracked and that I need to get checked out by my own doctor.
