"Admission to A&E last night for bad burn"

Last night at 11pm whilst caring for my young child with a cold I poured boiling kettle water all over my hand (from a hot water bottle).

I went down to A&E alone (1am), shaky and feeling very tearful and vulnerable as I was without my husband. I was in a lot of pain and was met with immense kindness, efficiency and professionalism, and was treated and discharged within 90 mins - such a surprise to me on a Sunday night. My immediate treatment was given from a male doctor/nurse.

My the accompanying Doctor followed proceedure to the dot and cross referenced my burns with Chelsea and Westminster Burns Unit via pictures and a very detailed assessment.

I was given the right pain relief and made to feel very validated for coming as I wasn't sure I had done the right thing but I was in excrutatating pain and so am very glad I did. I just wanted to feedback, I truly value my NHS and also Lewisham as a local hospital and last night's care was a testiment to how I feel generally every time myself or my family has been treated there over the years.
