"Difficulty in getting an X-ray for an injured..."

On my second visit to the Minor Injuries Clinic I was still experiencing great pain in my leg and foot and hoped for agreement from the nurse available at the time that an

X-ray would help with the diagnosis of continued pain and swelling.

I waited two and half hours to eventually be seen by the nurse who said in the 10min check up that they did not think I needed an X-ray. The nurse helped me book an appointment with a GP whom I saw in desperation after my visit to the clinic and who immediately referred me to A&E for an X-ray . When the X-ray was taken I was found to have a fracture in my leg.I continue in the fracture clinic.

My main concern was the long wait to see someone and then despite X-ray attached to the clinic I was not considered for further diagnosis despite two weeks of pain and distress.
