I was referred to the local hospital by my GP for an wrist x-ray following an injury 10 days before which was not improving.
The service in x-ray was prompt and efficient . I told my story had my x-ray and was told to wait in the waiting room. The radiographer then told me that the radiologist had reported a small fracture and that I therefore had to go to see A and E doctor.
I was signed in efficiently telling my story yet again and told to take a seat. I was triaged after about 5 minutes telling my story yet again and seen by a doctor within half an hour telling my story for the fourth time!!!!!!!!
So my issue is not with prompt efficient time process but with the constant re telling of my story and then was told no fracture go home take pain killers and see GP in two weeks. Leaving me confused and feeling that I had wasted precious time in A and E when if that was the case I could have just been referred back to GP.
