To begin with this review is bad, and i hope the moderator contacts myself,
The event which has been on going for a week now has finally been delt with at another hospital due to lack of information and overall attitude of the staff.
I attended this MIU following advice from my pharmacy who wasnt happy with the colouring of my ankle, so went to sevenoaks MIU to have my ankle looked at, i had arrived with plenty of time 3:30pm to which i wasnt seen by a triage nurse untill 4:15pm with a ankle injury, however no xray was talked about untill being called into the consulation room which by then xray had shut,
The advice given was to rest it and if pain gets worse come back.
By thursday the pain was horrible and kept myself awake so took myself to the Tunbridge Wells hospital where i was in and out including x-ray in 2hrs 20mins, the inital investiagetion looking at xrays showed no break however on review with a dr the had noticed a break.
So a week later down the line the ankle has now had the correct treatment and i felt this experience could have been delt with a lot better if the triage process was reviewed at sevenoaks
I can not thank the Tunbridge wells staff enough
