"Waited 3hrs for pain relief"

About: Warwick Hospital / General surgery

Took my 7 year old with a suspected broken elbow. Asked 5 times over 3hours for pain relief which she never got. Finally after 3 hrs we were seen by a nurse who arranged an X-ray. We left with a sling and was advised someone will call if there is a break but he can’t see one so don’t worry just give her ibuprofen.

That’s great if you had asked about her medical history you would know She can’t have that and B she has a history or orthopaedic conditions so your advice does not help me.

Safe to say we will be going to see a specialist in the morning
