Attended a&e at hairmyres hospital and waited in a&e approx an hour when my son was then called through to triage to assess his ankle injury. He was then seen by a nurse who asked him if he had taken pain killers to which he had, then asked his pain score then informed us minor injuries closed at 10 pm. and he would need to return the next morning. I was disillusioned about his treatment as nurse did not even look at his ankle and I was under the impression that a triage nurse should assess the patients injury before making any decision on the patients treatment.
