Took my Mum (83) to Epsom A and E last night.
Just off the plane from Ireland holiday where she broke her Arm.
we have picture of Break from X-ray taken in Ireland... Epsom sent her home without treatment.. their x-ray didn't show the green stick fracture the Limerick Hospital one does so its go home and come back when you are worse .. presumably when the fracture punctures the skin
