Had an appointment in fracture clinic and was still waiting two hours later! I had to ask how long I was going to have to wait and all I got from one healthcare assistant was they're running late!
I was in loads of pain from a few other injuries and asked for help with them as I was struggling with walking with a leg plaster on and as I normally walk with 2 crutches I have been limited to the one and can't manage but they were not remotely interested in helping me with this! I got upset as I was in agony and kept asking if I could remake my appointment but they just kept walking away and not answering me! I know it's a busy clinic but some compassion could be used and at least offer people a drink when they say they're not feeling too good with being diabetic!
There was only one nurse that was helpful and made me feel better.
I think staff need to listen when someone asks for help!
